El registro de servicio selectivo merece una audiencia completa en el Congreso

La elección no es entre continuar con el registro de reclutas solo para hombres (que probablemente resulte inconstitucional) y expandir el registro a mujeres. La verdadera elección es si ampliar el registro a las mujeres o ponerle fin por completo. Los proyectos de ley para cada una de esas opciones se presentaron en la última sesión del Congreso y es probable que se vuelvan a presentar en los próximos meses como parte de la Ley de Autorización de Defensa Nacional anual.

Esta es una elección sobre el militarismo, no una elección sobre la igualdad de género. Ampliar el registro de reclutamiento a las mujeres generaría una apariencia de igualdad en la guerra (aunque es probable que las mujeres en el ejército aún estén sujetas a acoso y abuso sexual desproporcionado). Poner fin al registro de proyectos traería consigo una verdadera igualdad en la paz y la libertad.

Selective Service Registration Deserves a Full Hearing in Congress

The choice is not between continuing male-only draft registration (which is likely to be found unconstitutional) and expanding registration to women. The real choice is whether to expand registration to women or to end it entirely. Bills for each of those options were introduced in the last session of Congress, and are likely to be reintroduced within the next few months as part of the annual National Defense Authorization Act.

This is a choice about militarism, not a choice about gender equality. Expanding draft registration to women would bring about a semblance of equality in war (although women in the military would likely still be subject to disproportionate sexual harassment and abuse). Ending draft registration would bring about real equality in peace and freedom.

Why is the mainstream media supporting the amendment to expand the requirement that women have to comply with mandatory registration for a potential military draft?

The Selective Service should be abolished for men and women as a tenet of Basic Human Rights. Article One of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that:

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

It is a violation of our basic human rights that our government should be able to sequester our bodies into war and put us at risk of killing others or being killed.

Moving Towards Mandatory Military Draft Registration for Women

“We’re a very inexpensive insurance policy,” says Lawrence Romo, a stout 59-year-old former Air Force officer who’s now the agency’s director. Every American man between 18 and 25 still has to register for the draft or face the consequences.

Now women, finally allowed into front-line combat positions this year, may have to join them.

Failure to register is a felony It can theoretically land you in prison for five years or cost you a $250,000 fine. Selective Service still sends lists of nonregistrants to the Department of Justice in case the government feels like prosecuting anyone. Prosecutions don’t occur during peacetime, Romo assures me, but “severe consequences” still lurk. Men who don’t register before age 26 can’t hold most federal jobs or get federal government student loans. Many immigrants who arrive in the United States before they turn 26 can’t become citizens if they don’t register. A majority of states even make registration a requirement to get a driver’s license. And once you’ve missed the deadline, there’s no going back. (In 2014, 12 percent of men ages 18 to 25 failed to register.)
