I think this is awesome. I am a firm believer that everyone should serve their country in the military for at least two years, as they do in countries like Israel.

When you reach your 18th birthday, you should be conscripted for two years, and then the military will help you either pay for college or give you a stipend after that.

I served in the Army with many females who were just as capable, if not more capable, than some of the men. There is no reason why females cannot go into combat with their male counterparts. In fact, it already happens, even though the government would have you believe otherwise.

The selective service is completely necessary should the United States need to draft soldiers, sailors, or Marines to complete it's standing military.

If you don't like it, then fuck off to Canada.

I believe that women and men are equal 100%, but you know what I've see a LOT of? I've seen a lot of women who want to be treated as equally as men, but only when it's convenient for them.

Honestly, that's the vibe I'm getting from this article. If women are truly 100% equal to men, as I believe they are, then why shouldn't they have to register for the selective service just as men do?

The selective service has nothing to do with turning people into "slave soldiers," either. It's a measure to make sure our country has an adequate military to protect us from whatever crisis we may be facing at the time.

Don't you get that it's much bigger than you or I, or equal rights for men and women, or anything else going on that time? If we cannot protect our country and happen to lose it, then we won't even have the opportunity to argue over equal rights, because we'll be busy being run by some other country.
