Measure To Force Women To Sign Up For Draft Passes House Panel

From The Daily Caller:
A provision to force women to sign up for the draft just narrowly cleared the House Committee on Armed Services, passing an important hurdle in the legislative process Wednesday.

This provision, originally introduced by GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter as a way of pointing out the logical implication of allowing women serving in combat roles, would mandate that women, just like men, sign up for Selective Service within 30 days of turning 18, Military Times reports.

Women have been excluded from the draft because they were excluded from combat roles. Now that Secretary of Defense Ash Carter has turned that arrangement on its head, opening up all combat roles to women in December, the justification for not drafting women has evaporated.

Hunter wasn’t about to wait to let the Pentagon or White House decide on the matter, which is why he introduced the measure, although he is in principle opposed to allowing women in combat roles and has been a stringent critic of Carter’s decision. The measure is his way of pointing out the absurdity.

“Right now the draft is sexist. Right now the draft only drafts young men,” Hunter said, according to The Washington Examiner.
Waiting for feminist's heads to explode.
