And represents a reaction by GOP representatives who were objecting to the opening of combat roles to women.

Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., a Marine veteran, and Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., a retired Navy SEAL, filed the Draft American’s Daughters Act to stoke debate over the military’s historic move to fully integrate female troops into all combat roles. If passed, women from 18-26 years old would for the first time have to join men in registering with the Selective Service program and potentially be forced to fight in future wars.

“If this administration wants to send 18, 20-year-old women into combat, to serve and fight on the front lines, then the American people deserve to have this discussion through their elected representatives,” Hunter said in a released statement.

My country, yes.. maybe they will station me in Japan... or South Korea. I doubt you get your pick,...that's like asking to be stationed in Hawaii... its not going to happen unless you have a very high positive profile.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

I would have to believe that 45 would be impeached long before a draft could be raised. He might be able to push through equality in registration, but I seriously doubt that he has the political capital to do so. Or the interest. The odss that he can guide any major bills though are on the low side. He has neither the focus or tenacity to do so.

I think he likes golf because squirrels are on the courses...

In principle, I don't have a problem with all Americans being equally subject to military conscription, even if I prefer "equal" to mean "not." In context, this is not encouraging.

and of course that's illegal under federal law. I could see myself going to prison for smoking weed, when I really need it for what ails me. But they won't give a damn, to them its like me doing heroin..
