Top generals say women should be required to register for draft

The longstanding rationale for excluding women from draft registration is that their inability to serve in most combat roles makes female draftees less valuable to the military. That theory is undercut by the Pentagon’s recent decision to permit women to serve in virtually all those positions previously barred to them. The end of restrictions on women serving in combat also makes it more likely that the courts will invalidate male-only draft registration as unconstitutional sex discrimination. At least two cases challenging the male-only draft are currently making their way through the courts, and one of them might well succeed. [Ed: why women are clamoring to be equal within the most repressive, reprehensible institution on earth is beyond my comprehension.]
