That's a moronic thing to say. It's the ignorant battle cry taught by the left, and it means nothing. Plus, that's not even remotely what I said.

Not including women in the draft wasn't about women's ability to serve in the military. Women have been serving for a long time in various capacity.
The selective services not including women had a different point. During major wars it is unwise to send all our women off to die. In too many ways to count they are invaluable assets to our society. Frankly, more so than men.
Don't feed steak to a starving dog when scraps will do the trick.
So women should stay in the kitchen between breedings and make sammiches.
Thanks for your opinion.
The selective service not including women had nothing at all to do with being able to spawn.
It was a cultural difference which is gone now.

A man would have to make at least 20$ an hour to start to come close to matching those benefits geared toward divorce.

Big deal. 50% of the professional class in the US makes over $100k/year within 3 years of leaving university. Most of those who don't, have a similar level of purchasing power living in lower COL areas.
If you can't afford divorce, maybe you shouldn't have gotten married?

As it stands, the guys I saw in the military that came home from deployment to find another man in their bed with the wife had 1 option to not end up destitute. Look at the judge, say she can have it all just leave me my car and my uniforms and then start over, that's not a fair and just system.
So the man shouldn't be punished for making a bad decision? Why should the woman remain utterly devoted to you, when you're the one who went away? Especially when kids are involved. In that situation, are you doing anything at all other than sending them money? And you think that makes you a parent?
If you marry someone in the military you know what you are signing up for. If you cant handle it then you are not worth marrying at that time. Adultry is still technically illegal and should be enforced with monetary punishments.
Do military men deployed wherever not commit adultery?

Sounds to me like you're just asking for handouts? Make your wife financially dependent on you, then be able to divorce her and leave her with nothing? That's not how it works.

I am also against a draft unless it's very necessary as in an all out war. With that being said, if we are in an all out out war then we will need all of our women at home producing babies to replenish the population that would be depleting due to the men dying in war.
I always thought that was the reason why women weren't alowed to go into war in the first place?
Do I not maked good logical sense here?

If she’s raising the child, why shouldn’t she be entitled to half the household as part of the split and then additional resources for the kid?
