no, they can CHOOSE to be in combat roles, they are not drafted
yeah they are
they can literally be drafted
no
no
the decision was made in 2013
and it went into effect in 2016
nobody has been drafted since vietnam
yeah
including men
i mean you need to register fer it
🤔
yeah
yes
which most people who go to college, a majority of which are women, do
but only man COULD be drafted and have to sign up for elective service
because you have to register for the draft to get government loans
women can be drafted too tho
like
no, they cant
also
if you think that source is somehow inaccurate
"Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced on December 3, 2015, the Department of Defense will lift all gender-based restrictions on military service starting January"
this literally was in effect 3 years ago
@Polekov yeah. one judge ruled THIS YEAR that the male only draft is unconstitutional
not 2016 or some bs you said
and no, that doesnt mean women can be drafted. it means congress has to adress this one way or another
did u read the article
either of the articles
also, when the supreme court makes a ruling, it's not up to congress to decide
like with federal legalization of gay marriage
seperation of power, how does it fucking work
"Following a unanimous recommendation by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta announced, on January 24, 2013, the end of the direct ground combat exclusion rule for female service members. The service branches continue to move forward with a plan to eliminate all unnecessary gender-based barriers to service. Ongoing project is still underway. ª
@Polekov yes it is, actualy. congress could have decided to abolish all marriage instead of allowing gay marriage.
no they couldnt
you understand SCOTUS has final say on everything right?
Tfw in UK parliament can just change laws and go 'lolno supreme court'
Congress cant just say no to scotus
