Women Should Sign-Up To Draft

In the tragic case that the United States does have to call for another draft at least they’ll have the numbers they need to support the military. If the United States is willing to call a draft it is apparent that they need help. According to Scott Dunn, an army lawyer “Congressional opposition to drafting women centered on the exclusion of women from combat roles” (Dunn 8). In January 2016 women were granted the right to choose any military job including combat roles. Now that women can participate in combat there is no excuse for them not to be required to register for the draft. It is now legal for women to hold all the same positons as men so, what makes them less when it comes to being drafted? With the help of women, the military will be able to cover more ground than ever before. Instead of only using the women as nurses which takes more training than combat, the military can now train women to become fit for combat if necessary. Women will not only contribute to the numbers, but to the leadership needed in front line roles. According to Harvard Business Review, a journal written by professors and students at Harvard Law School, “More women were rated by their peers, their bosses, their direct reports, and their other associates as better overall leaders than their male counterparts — and the higher the level, the wider that gap grows” (Women’s Bureau 1). This is important because it proves that women can be a vital contribution to combat roles. Not only can they participate in the battles, but they can help lead them also. The more women military leaders there are in the military the more diverse the military will

In conclusion I feel that women should not be mandatory drafted in the military not because they aren’t necessarily good enough just that there is major issues to why they shouldn’t. They want to have a baby, cannot really achieve to what is required (in that means by being able to carry a heavy man or equipment), might not be emotionally prepared for what will happen in they end up in war, and also might not be prepared to be yelled at (emotions). In that case women should not be drafted in the military they honestly won’t be able to handle

Having young men or even women drafted in the military would benefit everyone. The soldiers would benefit from gaining the knowledge and on-the-job training for a career when they get out and the militaries would not be suffering from the shortage of troops as they are today. It is a win-win situation!

Another thing that should prevent women to be in the draft is emotion. Women are complex beings with many chemical emotions causing them to react differently than men. Women’s brains perceive things in a more maternal way there for they consider circumstances differently. If a situation was complicated and needed an immediate reaction a woman might not be the right person to make an instant and thought out decision. She might reflect on it in a way that didn’t conjure what the troop needed at the moment. Women that are forced to be in war can easily get overwhelmed. Men can come through due to instinct after hundreds of years of being the ones who take care of the physical and difficult tasks at hand but women might not be as likely to react logically and can be easily inundated by the stress. Having maternal instinct rather than survival technique can be a vast disadvantage in combat causing emotion to be a handicap.

For most of American history men, and women have rose to the occasion in times of war, and joined. Women served as nurses, and cooks, while the men fought. This idea of fighting for our country is slowly fading; the U.S. Civil War, World War I, World War II, Vietnam war, and the Korean War all used drafts. What if everyone was required to spend two years in the military? When did the idea of fighting for one’s country, one’s freedom, leave the minds of young adults in the country. A two year draft might not affect you, but your children, your grandchildren, and so forth deserve to live in a country that is great. Fighting for your country should be something everyone takes part in; we should not take our freedom for granted; the United States of America has your back, give the country

In Molly M. Ginty’s article “Military Women: All Guts, No Glory” she explores the issue of women who serve in the army and them being included in combat with males, and the inequality they have been through serving in the U.S Armed Forces over numerous years. With new legislating, and there being new roles for females there is always going to be the debate if women should be in combat with men or not. For years’ women who would join the army were just nurses and secretaries, because of people thinking that they are not fit to be in battle. Even though they all go through the same training, the women were put in position to practically serve those who were in battle which were the men. So personally I do agree with women being able to serve

Including women in war is critically unwarranted. The female gender does not have rights, therefore, they are against being pushed into war. Women did not want to send their sons to war due to the possibility of them being affected by the war. Since the draft started at 21, women do not want their children risking their lives at such a young age.

Only men are required to actually sign up for the draft after turning 18 years old.

Today if there were a draft it would be completely different from the way they have done it for the Vietnam War. Men could have lower reasons to not go into the draft congress tried to make some changes to the act in 1971 so that young men could qualify for deferment.” Under the draft law can have his induction postponed only until his current semester is over”(Smith). The lottery would still help determine what the call line will be, but before that the local board called classified men as 1-A from ages 18 to

As the US military opens combat roles to women, several politicians ask that registration for the draft be required for women, eliciting the support of some young Americans.

It is not fair that all men are required to register at age eighteen. The draft is gender biased All male citizens between ages 18 and 25 must register. An autonomous and gender-neutral draft will help increase insight and expectations of what women can do in the military and promote equality. 27 million men in the military pool and 2.2 million were drafted in the Vietnam War.

In 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs the Selective Service and Training Act, which requires all male citizens between the ages of 18 and 35 to register for the military draft. In 1848 the women's rights movement was started that means that women have been protesting for equality for one hundred years before the draft started. So why is it that a woman think they get to pick and choose what they get for equal rights? That like a woman saying i want to be paid fifteen dollars an hour but only do half the job as the man is doing for fifteen dollars an hour, now that's what i call sexest.

Ninety percent of all military occupations in the military include all genders, but the top ten percent of roles are excluded to women. Women have already felt the misogyny with unequal pay and unfair treatment by men, now women have to face the discrimination for fighting for our country. Women should be able to serve in the front lines because it makes the military stronger as a whole with more diversity, women in other countries fight on the front lines and women have made significant contributions in the military so far.

I am in favor of equality for women, just not when it comes to women in combat. There have been women in society doing heroic things since the Revolutionary war. There have been brave women in war posing as men so they could fight. There are a select few women who could handle war and combat. The negative aspects of women in combat outweigh the positive. Women should not participate in military combat. However they may join the military and served in traditional roles such as nurses and office staff. The difference between men and women is women are physically weaker, they have vital personal needs, and they attract male troops.

     Women should never be let into the military because America is not ready to see their mothers and daughters go to war. During wartime, when the men get drafted to go to war, the women are the backbone of the economy and the major suppliers of the labor in factories. Young children, with their mothers and fathers drafted, would have no place to go. A husband who’s wife gets drafted would eagerly take her place. Sixty year old fathers would also do the same for their daughters. Women nurture our society and do a great job at it. Half of the motivation of the soldiers on the front lines is the women that they left behind.
