Senate approves equal rights for women...and responsibilities.
As I recall Hillary was against equal rights for women while her husband was a strong supporter of equal frights.
Well ladies you are now close to being first class citizens a well deserved promotion if NOW doesn't screw it up for you again.
College Money? Government Job Sign right here! Congratulations you went from draftee to volunteer when needed status. And notice no limitations any and all jobs are open to you... depending on where assigned you might well get to drive a tank in combat.
Regular Army I was and still am against the draft. It's the sign of a despotic government living in fear to have such a tool on hand. Draftees were more trouble than they were worth to be honest though some turned out first rate.
So...do you think Humpty and Dumpty either one will turn down the offer?
Hillary being anti women will argue against it of course. She wants them safe for Bill's staff.
Trump.. who knows.
But remember it's the fascist socialist left that just past this measure. Let's find out how many Rinos and how many of the 15 that voted against suspending civil rights are still on which side.

voluntary servitude.--Also, I do not think it is right
to put women in combat (unless it were absolutely necessary as a last resort), even if they go voluntarily. It is just a fact that women are generally not as physically strong as men;
they wouldn't be able to do the job in hand-to-
hand combat, and the nation's safety should not
be put at risk in that manner.--Not that I have any experience with actual combat, although I
once was in the Navy, though only as a 4-by-10
Reservist.
Equal Opportunity, my a$$.
I play soccer with a woman, and she is the one of, if not the highest skilled player we have. Not as fast as most of the guys. Not as strong as most guys. Can't kick as far as some guys, but everyone wants her on their team, and there is no question she could complete any baseline requirement.
They had it correct in WWII where women were in a separate service. They are fine for support roles but should NEVER be deployed into any combat area. I know that they have been for many years, and that they have done honorable service. That does nothing to offset the simple biological differences, which can put fellow service members in harms way.
I served from 86 - 91 and had women in my unit. Invariably they would be assigned a task and be unable to complete the task for which males would have to come behind and pick up the slack. Additionally the Army, or at the very least my unit, always rotated the females out every 2 days for a shower when we were in the field; whereas the males NEVER got rotated back for showers. I fully understand the hygienic reasons and differences between males and females but this does nothing to address the effects that this has on morale in a long term deployment.
The ONLY way that I will ever change my mind about women in the military is if ALL mention of sex is removed from ALL military regulations. Everything from physical fitness test through to hygiene opportunities. Soldiers would have to be treated completely sexless.
While I would then withdraw my objections about women serving, I would strongly oppose that happening as I firmly believe that God made the differences between men and women for a reason and we are wrong with the direction we are heading as a society in this regard.
Don't get too bent out of shape, y'all. Old Dino's tongue is stuck in his toothy cheek.
Wonder how the "Safe Spacer's" are gona survive this one...I would love to be a drill Sargent now.
"McCain countered that including women in the draft was a matter of equality."
Saying its a matter of equality is no excuse for passing a law that forces Americans to die for the state. Clearly McCain is still suffering from dementia. The other 84 senators who voted to approve this barbaric law have no excuse.
"Rand Paul of Kentucky, filed an amendment that would have gotten rid of the draft altogether, but it too failed to get traction."
Once again, the statists betray the people who elected them even with an obvious choice to favor good over evil.
Wonder what Gary Johnson will say.
So this is not a case of women per se in the military but equal rights for women in all the responsibilities of citizenship.
Nice thing is nothing is denied. They may be assigned to or ask to be assigned to any part of the military. Including Infantry, Armor, Artillery etc. Not just Commander-In-Chief.
In one respect it's about time women were not longer treated as second class citizen. In the other why do we still have a military draft at all?
Is the government that afraid of their various chickens coming home to roost.
So the term no more cannon fodder takes on new meaning a step up I suppose in some peoples minds from 'baby factories.'
In 1776 it was taken for granted men would fight and women would provide the fighters. My how times have changed.
85 percent of the Senate all Rinos voted to suspend civil rights 87% of the same Senate voted to give women equal rights. Wonder how the house is going to shake out the votes. More Demo's but then they've always been anti civil rights. We'll have to wait ut I'm betting it's not time yet for women to be first class citizens.
Would it be murder? Of course not. Sanctioned killing by the State is a number of things executions for one but even the Christian Bible states God reserves to the State to the right to kill in it's defense.
My problem isn't with women or with war obviously and as an infantry soldier with no part of that job description BUT the founding fathers did by not mentioning them reserve women to rovide the following generations. Still ...aren't they worth more than just being baby factories? Which is the most insulting to someone who is relegated to the second class of citizenship and not only by the choice of others. In the Clinton days the womens movement chose to turn their backs on the idea of equal rights.
Thorny problem that may be knottier than one first assumes.
