Women will soon be required to register with selective service

Ive told this story before but when I was in the Navy, we had a port visit to Haifa, Israel. went out to dinner and outside there were many young couples walking around and dressed like for a date, but both carried and automatic weapon on their shoulders,
I was told that in Israel, every man has to join the military from age 17 to 20 and every woman has to join the military from age 18 to 20.. this was in 1985 ish,... the image of seeing people walking around in civilian clothes carrying weapons was eye opening to say the least.

I love women in the military and they’re just as smart (if not smarter) with most jobs, However…anything really physically demanding like ruck runs present a challenge! From my direct experience as a tanker, rounds weigh 50 lbs each and a fair pace of firing them is every 5 seconds which means your loader is a humpin’ and that can create efficacy and survival problems, imnsho.
