The Draft Is Coming For Your Daughters
The warmongers seem to really believe that World War III is impending. Or at least, something large enough that requires women to register for the draft.
A few days ago on X (formerly Twitter), news of women being required to register for the selective service (and therefore the draft) went viral, with over 6.5 million views on @RealPatrickWebb’s post.
The screenshot, unfortunately, doesn’t appear to be made-up or clickbait: You can view the entirety of the document in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of Fiscal Year 2025, which is accessible through the United State Senate Committee on Armed Services’ website.
Men and women are equal in value and dignity, but certainly not in physical stature or ability. While thankfully we have guns that serve to equalize the sexes and provide women the chance to defend themselves against a man who is potentially twice her size, war is made up of unspeakable and horrible things. Soldiers get captured and have their firearms stripped away from them. What happens to an 18 to 26-year-old young woman then? What happens to your sister, your friend, your girlfriend, or your wife? Your daughter?
Are We Going to War? What’s Going On?
Not exactly. Or, at least, not yet. We’ll first discuss the full context of where this change to the draft is coming from.
The NDAA is a legislative act that authorizes the budget for military activities and policy every fiscal year. It first emerged amidst the Cold War in 1961. Long before that, defense funding and policy-making were handled through various separate bills. With the creation of the Department of Defense through The National Security Act of 1947, our military and intelligence were restructured. Just over 10 years later, the Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1958 would eventually give way to the NDAA.
The NDAA relies on drafts from two committees: the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services (SCoAS) in the Senate and the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) in the House of Representatives. The committees are made up of a selection of members in their corresponding chambers. The Senate committee has 25 members, out of the total 100 senators. The House committee has just under 60 members, out of the total 435 elected members of the House of Representatives.
This year, the Senate committee passed its version of the NDAA, which included the following verbiage: Amends the Military Selective Service Act to require the registration of women for the Selective Service.
