Why did Barack Obama vote yes to draft women ?

Question

He voted to draft women but not in combat

However, that is disturbing that he even thinks the draft should be allowed at all!! It is INCONSISTANT with a free society.

"a free society means men and women are equal"

What the hell are you talking about? A free society means the government doesn't own you or the fruits of you labor. If the government can say your 18 your going to war, then who owns you?

Answer 1

CFR plans to merge the soviet model of society into the US constitutional republic is apparently not satisfied with the speed in which the Rockefeller propoganda drive moved to get women out of their own homes, into the workplace, leaving their families behind for government schools to indoctrinate into the new plan.

That plan relied to heavily on choice. Draft, or conscription is an expeditious means of attaining the goal.

Americans need to take back their sovereignty. Take back their family values. What other species walks away from their young?

Answer 2

Dear little miss, Equality is equality for minorities and women(the biggest minority of all) Well lets see...we need bodies for the continual war we advocate over all the world... You do know in Israel both men and women have to go into the military. So we are going the same way...But In Israel so many young people used to escape to Sweden, Norway and other countries to escape the draft. We turn to Canada. You see I've seen this all happen before...but now young people need to stand up for their right to peace by not following blindly into the aggressive invasions of sovereign nations..We are an occupation army that intends to stay permanently in the mideast along the oil lines and control the oil fields shared by Iraq and Iran...Believe me whether it is Exxon-Mobile or BP we are there to control and to stay...so our army belong to corporate concerns which many Americans confuse with "our" concerns...Do we profit with oil profits? I think not even if you own a few shares it doesn't cover the costs of gas and the profits don't really go to you...They aren't taxed as windfall taxes because each time the congress starts calling for these oil companies to pay higher tax on profit the heads get up in front of the house committees and refuse for all the excuses they can think of...so we are really held hostage by autos using gas and our use of plastics etc...so now oil is sold as a commodity with futures allowing for even bigger profits that we will never see...We are creating a "hell on earth" for all the people except the wealthiest few...so, if I were you, I would pray alot for peace whether you are Republican or Democrat, personally I don't even want to be American...I travelled for years to escape the oppression of our "democracy" that is no democracy...Read that book The Shock Doctrine by Naomi ? It just came out...last week. and good luck my dear...I hope you enjoy army life..

Answer 3

I'm not an Obama supporter. I wouldn't like a draft but if there ever was one, I'd want men and women to serve in combat together. True equality. I know Obama's vote on this issue is a little disturbing and something Ron Paul would never vote for.

Answer 4

A free society means men and women are equal.

If Barack Obama wants to end the war in Iraq, why would he support a draft in the first place?

I think you're taking things out of context.

Answer 5

If they ever bring back the draft it should include women also.
There are plenty of jobs in the military that women can do that will not put them on the front lines.

Women are capable of flying combat aircraft.
In World War 2 Russian women were trained as snipers.

Woman can operate missile systems.
Women can operate anti aircraft guns.


The only thing stopping women from serving in front line is probably upper body strength and what might happen to them if they are taken prisoner.

But...if push came to shove.
They could wind up in combat roles.

If they aren't already...or pretty damn close to it.

Answer 6

Pitchow!, he has no plans to end the war immediately.. I believe he made it clear in the last debate, that he's unsure if it will be over by 2013. And considering that he advocated possibly going into Pakistan and Iran, there maybe a draft, although he says he is against one in general. Conflicting record? yes!

This is straight of www.ontheissues.org
Register women for draft, but not for combat. (Jul 2007)

Answer 7

Thats a bit scary...the draft should not be allowed at all, why is there even voting on the draft? I thought it was inconstitutional

Answer 8

Here is something I recieved by e-mail:

Some of you have wanted information on Obama or Romney. Here's their real views.

Barack Obama (see Mitt Romney below)

Before I quote his article, some people did not know that Barack Obama is one of the richest men in the world. I don't believe he is publicizing this.

{ Ed. I don't know where she got this information, but I do know she gets the C. F. R. 's newsletter, which is where this came from. I will try to find out about his wealth status and how he became so wealthy???}

In the July-August issue of Foreign Affairs, which is the publications of the Council on Foreign Relations, the front organization of the wealthy elite, Barack Obama wrote an article called "Renewing American Leadership." This article was meant for the wealthy elite and their followers' ears, not you. Here are some quotes: "This century's threats are at least as dangerous as and in some ways more complex than those we have confronted in the past." . . ."They come from rogue states allied to terrorists and from rising powers that could challenge both America and the international foundation of liberal democracy. They come from weak states that cannot control their territory or provide for their people." (What are they, rising powers or weak states -- make up your mind.)

Etc. etc.

Obama is a C.F. R. spokesperson.

Answer 9

first why are they voting for something that doesnt exist (it raises the question will it soon ?) and second just this week he doesnt know if he can get the troops out by 2013 -as well as clinton and edwards -it is pretty obvious that every top tier candidate is for the status quo -( the dems are a little more cautious and are trying to look like they will change something but it is obvious they wont - I am for change. I am for ron paul .

Answer 10

It looks like we will have the draft more all the time, so you better think who you want in office seriously this time. Do you want the warmongers or a better plan? I don't believe ladies should be in a war zone.
