'Go straight to hell': Texas Republican blows up both parties after amendment of SUPPLY WOMEN adopted

While Democrats and some Republicans celebrated the “historic” inclusion of women in the U.S. military draft, Congressman Chip Roy (R-Texas) embarked on a rant against both parties for this and other policies over the years.

The selective service system currently requires men aged 18-25 to register for the draft. An amendment that would also extend this to women was passed in a 35-24 vote by the House Armed Services Committee on Thursday, as part of the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which the bill funds the military.

🎙️ SE: Last night, I tabled my historic, two-part amendment to include women in the selective service. Grateful for Rep. @michaelgwaltz (R-FL) and all members of the House Armed Services Committee who assisted in adopting this measure 35-24. #NDAApic.twitter.com/6Fr9o9O54N

The committee has 31 Democrats and 28 Republicans, meaning four members of the opposition crossed the aisle and backed “historic” amendment of the NDAA. The Senate already proved the proposal in July, also with some GOP members joining the Democrats.

Roy, a former Senate employee who was first elected to the House in 2019, fired a tirade with nine tweets telling both parties to “Go straight to hell."

“I do not trust you to do anything, much less say that you will prepare my daughter for roles that are not ‘fight’," he tweeted before coming up with some examples.

Message to Republicans and Democrats - inclusive @HouseGOP & @SenateGOP coworkers. I do not trust that you have to do anything, much less say that you will prepare my daughter for roles that do not fight. Why do I not trust you? Let’s see - THREAD: (1/9) #DontDraftOurDaughters

Among his list of reprobates were people who raised $ 30 billion in government debt while balancing budgets did nothing to secure the limit except snak “In the False Name of Compassion” politicized the coronavirus pandemic and vaccines and treatments for it, and “destroyed our healthcare system ” in “False name on cover."

Roy also attacked people who had only had the United States at war for 20 years “A gutless president to surrender and strengthen our enemies," with reference to the recent exit from Afghanistan. He also called those who gave the authorities “Education Bureaucrats” to teach children that America is evil and racist, and destroyed US energy dependence “Protecting Institutional Investors and the Acela Corridor Cocktail Circle."

“Now you want to kast like my daughter and just ‘trust you’ so as not to put them in a fight? The whole of DC - the whole thing - can go straight to hell, ” he concluded.

Roy’s tirade came when the NDAA cleared the committee in a 57-2 vote in a late-night meeting that stretched to Thursday morning. The House allocation provides the Pentagon with $ 23.9 billion more in funding than the White House budget request, even after President Joe Biden ended the war in Afghanistan and the commitment to fund the Afghan government and military forces that surrendered to the Taliban in the middle of August.

Both the change and Roy’s frustrated tweets went largely unnoticed by the major media, which on Thursday focused on the abortion restrictions that came into force in Texas.

While the United States abolished the military draft after the Vietnam War, the requirement for selective service was only briefly abolished by President Gerald Ford in 1975. His successor Jimmy Carter reintroduced it in 1980 with reference to Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. When the Obama administration ordered the military to allow women to participate in combat roles in 2013, the National Coalition for Men sued to declare registration requirements unconstitutional on the basis of gender.

The case reached all the way to the US Supreme Court, which in June ruled that the law was in fact sexist as written, but that Congress was considering updating it - which has just happened.

Ironically, the Democrats - and the Republicans who joined them - ended up adopting what a meme campaign during the 2016 election accused Hillary Clinton of fighting for. At the time, supporters of Republican candidate Donald Trump argued that Clinton wanted ‘drafts for our daughters’ to fight Russia and spread memes about it over social media.
