Mike Malloy - Senate Votes To Force Women To Register For The Draft

[hschulein]

In the latest and perhaps decisive battle over the role of women in the military, Congress is embroiled in an increasingly intense debate over whether they should have to register for the draft when they turn 18.

On Tuesday, the Senate approved an expansive military policy bill that would for the first time require young women to register for the draft. The shift, while fiercely opposed by some conservative lawmakers and interest groups, had surprisingly broad support among Republican leaders and women in both parties.

The United States has not used the draft since 1973 during the Vietnam War. But the impact of such a shift, reflecting the evolving role of women in the armed services, would likely be profound.

Under the Senate bill passed on Tuesday, women turning 18 on or after Jan. 1, 2018, would be forced to register for Selective Service, as men must do now. Failure to register could result in the loss of various forms of federal aid, including Pell grants, a penalty that men already face. Because the policy would not apply to women who turned 18 before 2018, it would not affect current aid arrangements.

1. What's up with this guy's manner of presentation?

What is his background and why the air of undercover mystery?

2. Do you mean, Malloy's manner?

3. His manner of presentation. Why is it the way it is?

You notice nothing odd about same?

[MrMickeysMom]

4. I've listened to him over he years... he's had this same persona since Bush..

A cynic at times, realist mostly and he swears a lot since uncensured via total podcast, since liberal talk stations are rare enough anywhere. Are you new to this kind of talk?

5. The dark room he produces the show in,

the Mission Impossible flavor of the intro, the general air of being undercover. I've never seen that before. Other than him, have you?

[MrMickeysMom]

6. You're describing your perception as if it were mine...

I've seen dark backgrounds before. His intro is not for linear thought, but what isn't covered by MSM. Have you ever seen a Charlie Rose interview? It's pretty dark an at least in the past, used to think outside the more bland interview style now. I think many progressives want to sit around the campfire and keep it lit from show to show.

How new are you to this kind of discussion? I find it liberating.

8. Why am I "odd"?

Where do you get off telling a person they are "odd" when inquiring their opinion of a radio show format?

I'd alert on you, but somehow the software isn't allowing me to do so. Isn't THAT special, now.
