White House announces support for women in military draft

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration declared its support Thursday for requiring women to register for the military draft, a symbolic but significant shift that reflects the U.S. military’s evolution from a male-dominated force to one seeking to incorporate women at all levels.

President Barack Obama has been considering whether to adopt the position since last December, when Defense Secretary Ash Carter ordered the military to open all jobs to women, including the most arduous combat posts. Ned Price, a spokesman for the White House’s National Security Council, said Obama believes women have “proven their mettle,” including in Afghanistan and Iraq.

“As old barriers for military service are being removed, the administration supports — as a logical next step — women registering for the Selective Service,” Price said, using the formal name for the military draft.

  1. This is more Obama bull. He himself never registered as he was classified a foreign student. This is fact folks.

  4. Since we all know that women do everything better than men, this makes sense. Let's face it, we worship women. With modern equipment, they can kill Muslims just as easily as a man.

    We need women heroes.

    Remember, serving in the US Military is the absolute greatest thing any person can ever do. Why deny women the opportunity?

  5. I agree. Women can serve just as well using modern weapons of war.
    They are better at so many things than men.
    They also have access to better education now compared to men.

    Women will be the new heroes.
    They are motivated to kill terrorists while many men are just interested in playing or watching sports.
    Women are the future of America.
    And they no longer need men for anything.
