If women can serve in combat arms positions, why can't they be drafted?

Yes, since they want equality they should be drafted.

If we ever have a major war the draft will be resumed no question.

I'm not sure we will ever need it, given how large our reserve force is, but I think the main issue is whether they should have to register for selective service like all guys do.

IMO, if there were a draft, no.

There are badass women who serve, but the type of woman required to do that is the exception, not the norm.

Drafting all women would be a colossal waste of time.

Wouldn't those women be weeded out just like men who are unable to serve, just in larger numbers?

I would think women would be fighting against this kind of prohibition, because it's grounded on the view that they are not qualified.  Gender equity. 

Wait.  Gender is a "social construct."

Far more women wouldn't make the cut.

It would be a disaster.

I doubt this will ever happen in this age of military technology.

It amazes me how weak and stupid they are.

My good friend's son is 18 and has never cut the grass or changed a tire before. Knows nothing outside of video games and movies.

Very scary.  I've been complaining for years about how we are raising a generation of sissies.  And that has nothing to do with being gay.  It's about treating masculinity like it's a bad thing.  Preventing kids from having to learn how to deal with stress and adversity.  Creating "safe spaces."  It's terrible.

It's fair and we live in world of fairness, well kind of.

Think about this, you draft 100k men from Alaska and 100k men from Maryland.

Who's going to be the better pick?

Might not be the best example, but you get my point?

Or 100k men from west Texas country and 100k men for urban NYC or Chicago?

It's insane.

Stress and adversity are parts of life.

You learn to deal with it and move on.

It's crazy how dulled down Americans have become.

There is nothing wrong with being masculine.

My cousin has 3 boys and they live in the country of central Texas. They are raised like men and act like adults as teenagers. It's crazy how much differently they act. Very mature and proper. I'd hate to see them treated badly by our new weakened society of soy boys.

It brings up one of the defects of the college system where kids go away for four years and hang around with no one except people their own age. When they come out, they don’t have experience  dealing with adults and as a result they’re still kids.

If the U.S. had a draft, the yes everyone in decent health of a certain age should be required to participate in it as is the case in many other countries such as, in Israel which has 'conscription' for all Israeli citizens over the age of 18 who are Jewish regardless of gender. Other countries with conscription for all are Norway, Sweden, Moracco, Columbia and North Korea. Many Countries have mandatory national service, like Nigeria, Germany, and Denmark. These are just a few of the countries around the globe that require their citizens to serve in some way. In total, about seventy-five countries have some form of mandatory service.

I don't think it's fair to question someone's manhood over their position on this.  Reasonable minds can disagree.  I think there are good arguments on both sides.  And the fact they do this is in countries like Israel, who has a solid armed force, is telling.

I didn't think you were attacking me and I don't take anything said on this board personally.

I don't fault you for having a strong opinion against women being drafted.  I posted this thread by asking the question because I wanted to hear different perspectives. 

Part of me thinks like you:  I don't want to see women forced onto the battlefield to fight wars started by men.  Part of me thinks it's a fairness issue and women should be subjected to the same standard as men, so long as they can meet the physical qualifications.

I don't necessarily 100% disagree with this statement, moreso that the draft is a completely inefficient method to accomplish this, given the reasons I stated.

But if pushed, I would still stick to I don't really care about the "fair".

No argument there. 

We need to keep in mind that if there is a draft that will mean we are in one or two major conflicts/wars, and that essentially all of our 1 million reservists were already activated, along most of the 400,000+ national guardsmen.  So it's highly unlikely.  But if the draft is necessary it will only be because we need all hands on deck.

Congress is on verge of including women over 18 in the military draft: Republicans slam bid that could pass next week as a bid to further 'ridiculous' political equality 'row'
The provision is included in this year's National Defense Authorization Act
The NDAA passed the House with a decisive 316-113 vote back in September
It was also approved by the Senate Armed Services Committee this summer
Bill text would replace 'male' with the gender-neutral term 'person'
A phrase in the Selective Service terms banning discrimination based on 'race or color' will be updated with the more progressive 'race, color, sex, or gender'
Chuck Schumer told fellow senators in a letter the NDAA may come up this week
