Four years ago, proposing a woman-drafting policy would have been instant death by political self-electrocution. Now, it’s just a footnote. Draft sponsor Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) explained, “Simply put, as the Selective Service System is currently written, it is unconstitutional and discriminates based on sex.”
Congratulations, ladies! You’ve broken through the military’s Kevlar ceiling, and you can now enjoy fighting Russians in Ukraine for America. Drafting women was inevitable; it only makes sense. Well, it makes sense in the same way that explaining the logistics of how Santa’s sleigh flies makes sense. Since nowadays the military recognizes gender by self-selected identity, we can’t afford men getting out of the draft by identifying as women.
That would be absurd.
