This will either be reversed at a higher level or the nations' ability to raise an army in a national emergency will be no more. In the meantime get ready to regisyer your daughters for the draft at age 18.
With women in combat roles, a federal court rules the male-only draft unconstitutional
Gregory Korte, USA TODAY Published 12:59 a.m. ET Feb. 24, 2019 | Updated 1:52 a.m. ET Feb. 24, 2019
A federal judge in Texas has declared that the all-male military draft is unconstitutional, ruling that "the time has passed" for a debate on whether women belong in the military.
The decision deals the biggest legal blow to the Selective Service System since the Supreme Court upheld the draft in 1981. In Rostker v. Goldberg, the court ruled that the male-only draft was "fully justified" because women were ineligible for combat roles.
But U.S. District Judge Gray Miller ruled late Friday that while historical restrictions on women serving in combat "may have justified past discrimination," men and women are now equally able to fight. In 2015, the Pentagon lifted all restrictions for women in military service.
The case was brought by the National Coalition For Men, a men's rights group, and two men who argued the all-male draft was unfair.
