Hillary, the Draft Dodger
February 4, 2016
HILLARY CLINTON engages in some Orwellian ‘doublethink’ on the issue of women and the draft. She should be hailing this development, all the major feminists should, since she has always stood for women doing everything men do. But the draft, that’s problematic.
How does she get around this bind? She says the draft itself is a problem. High five, Hillary! You’re a master.
“I have to think about whether it’s necessary to go as far as our military officers are recommending,” Clinton responded. “From my perspective, the all-volunteer military has worked and we should not do anything that undermines it because it has provided a solid core of people who are willing to serve our country.”
The question for now, however, is whether women should be required to register with the Selective Service, as men are. She skirts that issue.
