Uncle Obama wants your daughters.

 

Are you ready for Obama to send your 19-year-old daughter to Afghanistan or Pakistan or some other country to fight on the front lines of battle? It could happen, and it probably will.

 

One of Leon Panetta's last acts as Obama's Secretary of Defense was to change the policy so that women may now serve on the front lines of battle in combat units. The decision was hailed by women's rights groups. But here's what they didn't tell you.

 

A Supreme Court decision some thirty years ago held that the only Constitutional reason to exclude women from the draft was that the purpose of the draft is to provide combat-ready troops, and women could not serve on the front lines. Now they can; therefore, they cannot be excluded from draft registration because of their gender.

 

Greg Jacob, policy director for the Service Women's Action Network, said, "We see registration as another step forward in terms of equality and fairness." Really? I guess that means Obama's little girls will be first in line to be shipped out when they reach their 18th birthdays. If you believe that, then I know this Nigerian prince who'll send you a million dollars to hide for him, and you can keep $100,000 of it and only send him back $900,000.
