BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Frank in Elkhart, Kansas. I'm glad you waited, sir. You're up next on Open Line Friday. Hi.
CALLER: Hi, Rush.
RUSH: Hey.
CALLER: How are you?
RUSH: I'm very well, sir. Thank you.
CALLER: Thank you. I've listened to you since about the summer of 1989. I've been pretty religious over the years, and I really appreciate your help with my sanity and so on and so forth over the years.

RUSH: Thank you very much.
CALLER: I'm a first-time caller. I've never tried to call anybody else, so I'm really nervous. I've just now got my heart rate down to where I can halfway speak decent. And what I heard last Sunday on the Chris Wallace show, the Sunday show, he was interviewing Lieutenant Colonel McSally. I think she was the first female combat pilot and an Army general who's I think retired.
RUSH: Right.
CALLER: And they were talking -- Chris was talking about lifting the ban on women in combat, so on, so forth. And I was listening, and Chris Wallace asked her if she was prepared for young ladies to have to register with Selective Service just like the guys do. And he said, 'cause that's coming down the road, because with the lifting of the ban on women in combat, they're gonna have to eventually 'cause it's gonna go to court. And all things being equal, they're gonna have to end up registering, and he asked her if she's prepared for that. And she says, well, there's a lot of smart folks I know that would argue that we don't need a Selective Service, but, all things being equal, and that's what we're all interested in is equality, that she's prepared for women to have to register at 18 like the guys do.
RUSH: Frank, I gotta take a break here. Sit tight. We'll come back and continue here after the brief time-out. Don't go away.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Back to Frank in Elkhart, Kansas. Let me see if I understand. You watched Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday and he had two military guests. Women in combat as an issue came up and some people now want to lift the ban on that, which means if you're gonna put women in combat, women are gonna have to be registered for Selective Service. Right?
CALLER: Right.
RUSH: That's the point. Right now at 18, only young men have to sign up. But if women can be shipped off to combat under the premise, "Hey, we're all (quote/unquote) 'equal' with the proper constitutional rights," then young girls are gonna be required to register for Selective Service. Even though there isn't a draft, you still have to register, and there might someday be one. My guess is you're not cool with that and you probably have a daughter who's not cool with it, or you have some friends who have daughters who are not cool with it, right?
CALLER: That's right. I've got seven daughters, and six of them are 18 to about nine months. I talked to my 15-year-old daughter the other day and I asked her, "Are you ready to sign up for Selective Service when you turn 18?" and she practically squealed, "I'm not doing that!" I've been around a lot of girls -- girls' friends and all that business -- and I think they're all gonna squeal. You know, they all want their equal rights and all that stuff. But they don't want equal responsibilities, and that's what signing up for the draft is. It's responsibility.
RUSH: Well, you know, I think that's a good point, but I think there's something else going on here. Let's face it, the left uses the US military as a laboratory or a playground for their silly little social beliefs, and this whole concept of, "There's no difference in men and women except the way they're raised and women can do combat just as well as men"? Yeah, right. Do you see women playing in the NFL? I mean, it's absurd. Anyway, the point is I will bet you that you have a bunch of people, Frank, who when they hear "women in combat" say, "Oh, yeah! I'm into fairness.
