7 Tishrei, 5782 / Sept. 14, '21
by Rabbi Noson Shmuel Leiter, Executive Director of Help Rescue Our Children
On
September 1, both the Senate and House Armed Services Committees voted
to require women to register for the Selective Service. That means that,
in event of a draft, G-d forbid, for ANY reason or pretext (global
warming?), women - of age 18 to 25 - would be forced to serve in the
[increasingly "Woke"] military. That also means young female conscripts
will be forced to endure the Military's zero-tolerance for dissent,
including non-compliance with its degressive "Equality" dogma. Take a
minute or two to think about what exactly that means for your daughters,
sisters, or granddaughters in very real terms, given all the godless
dregs with whom they will be in close proximity, particularly overnight,
especially in jungles, or other isolated areas, or in enemy captivity,
G-d forbid.
Moreover, even
if somehow we hypothetically knew from Eliyahu HaNovi that there would
never be a draft in America - military, national service, or otherwise -
the passage of proposed "Draft Our Daughters" amendments to the NDAA22 -
that would require women to register for Selective Service - would
ultimately have a corrosive if not devastating impact on the military.
1.
Eventually, the integration of women into military units, including
combat units, would accelerate - rendering an already really bad
situation alot worse.
2.
With that, unwanted pregnancy and abortions would rise (although
obvious to many, evidence of this has been addressed elsewhere).
3.
Furthermore, that antimoral Armed Forces paradigm-shift would
metastasize into a broader cultural shift, accelerating and exacerbating
what's already happening in the remnants of American civilization.
4.
This is in addition to the deleterious impact such Congressional
legislation would immediately have by encouraging and boosting the
ongoing escalation of the female draft in Israel - where the irreligious
Establishment is, according to Chotam.org, actually pushing the female
military draft (revealingly, at the expense of the female national
service, "Sheirut Leumi").

Now,
if you're not already involved in combating this epic threat, would you
please join? Please see below, and contact us if need be. We have
precious little time to stop this state-sanctioned abuse of women.
But it can be stopped.
The
key to success is focus. Decent people cannot afford to continue to be
incessantly duped and distracted by diversionary tactics, as real as
some of those diversionary dangers may be (as Mrs. Engel so succinctly
observes in her email, appended below).
THE
DEADLINE FOR LEGISLATION SUBMISSION BY HOUSE MEMBERS - TO STOP THE
LAYING OF GROUNDWORK FOR THE DRAFTING OF WOMEN - IS THIS COMING TUESDAY,
SEPT.14th 1PM ET.
==========================
Organization of this Presentation:
==========================
This presentation is divided into five [sections, not books]:
1] action items for individuals,
2] a section for activist leaders,
3] a list of tips and background information and explanation,
4] supplemental information and a sample letter to a "Equality" proponent (and military vet),
5] a useful sample alert sent out by a leading activist involved in this matter
=============
1] ACTION NEEDED TODAY:
1)
Please urge the public that it's truly urgent for each potential voter,
and especially girls and young women, to do the following, ASAP:
a) Spread the word about this threat (see email and links copied below).
b)
Each person, especially women and girls, should contact their own
representatives in both houses of Congress, with the unequivocally
strident message:
"Don't draft our daughters - ever - for any type of "service" - for any reason, period."
The
Congressional Switchboard is 202-224-3121 [the switchboard operates 24
hours, but offices are only open during day hours, 9 to 5 or 6].
° Callers may want to add:
'No "if"s, "but"s, or "and"s -- Drafting women is Exploitation.'
°
Do not take no for an answer. If the staffer obfuscates, consider
replying "Precisely WHICH words didn't you understand? Don't draft
women to anything, period."
° Those
legislators who provide the excuse/pretext of "Equality" should be told
(something along the lines of the powerful argument in section 4) this:
This
is not rocket science. The offending legislators generally are aware of
some of this, unless they're incredibly dumb. We need to put them on
defense - that we know that they know it, and that they just don't care.
°
If, despite rational arguments, a staffer or your Congressman argues
that "Equality" trumps our concerns, you may want to consider being a
bit clearer, by replying along the lines of:
"Why should we/ our daughters get molested by a six-foot brute with AIDS - just for your "DEquality"?
°
Some staffers may try to throw callers off balance by sidetracking
them, by mention of the Congressional ("Heck") Commission. Reply: "Don't
sidetrack," and repeat your demands that women never be forced to serve
in any national service, for any reason or pretext, period.
FYI,
that 11-person panel wasted 45 million dollars over three years to
encourage expanding national and military service to women for no good
reason. Mention of the Commission is probably a diversionary tactic. One
need not know anything about that Commission to know that their
unhinged [and apparently predetermined] conclusion of drafting women -
to any type of national service - especially in "Woke" America in 2021 -
is a disaster of grave proportions. No foreign enemies could have
perpetrated this against the United States, without the help of so many
eager adversaries within.
c) It's important to please share feedback, i.e. responses of legislators, with us, CMR, CWA,
et.al.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2] ACTION ITEMS FOR LEADERS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1)
Leaders, in addition to urging your followers to do the aforementioned,
also please contact every Republican member, and the less radical
Democratic members of the Armed Services Committees in BOTH houses
(preferably considering how they voted on Draft Our Daughters in
committee; please see futher in Supplement below).
»»
Urge them to submit legislation to remove ALL "Draft Our Daughters"
language, including language redefining Selective Service, in the NDAA
(the massive Defense legislation coming to a full floor vote very soon,
perhaps the week of Sept. 20th!). The deadline for the House is this
Tuesday Sept. 14th.
Unfortunately,
we don't have the Senate deadline yet, because they've not published
their schedule. It seems that working on legislation in the House is the
priority, at the moment. Congress resumes this week, but thankfully
they have other business to attend to as well. That means that we must
work as if we have almost no time, but plan as if we may possibly have
more time.
~~~
2) Please clarify to
the legislators why it's so vital that they submit language that blocks
the recent attempt - inspired by the aptly-named "Heck Commission" - to
redefine Selective Service, to create other types of mandatory national
service, and to draft women into those. Additionally, by creating other
forms of national service, they aim to dodge grassroots objections to
the abject lunacy of drafting women into combat units, by making it
appear as if the entire Selective Service inclusion of women has nothing
to do with combat (not that that would avoid our objections either).
3)
Thirdly, please spread the word as rapidly as feasible. We need to
wake up the heavily-distracted public, and save them from the relentless
diversionary tactics of the Left, be they Corona-related restrictions
[arguably geared to evoke our distraction from culture-killing
legislation like this], or otherwise.
4) Organize women's demonstrations, ASAP. That will get attention, and convey the gravity of the threat.
5)
Alert receptive Catholic organizations and activists to the threat,
especially noting how a female draft would increase unwanted pregnancy
and abortion (ask for our fact sheet on that).
It's vital to immediately nurture a bipartisan tsunami of national outrage against drafting young women - for anything.
° Timing:
We
especially need this massive awareness campaign NOW, in order to have
civil outrage on social media before Tuesday, for two reasons:
a) One is to ensure support to expedite the aforementioned legislation to stop Draft Our Daughters.
b) The second is to deter the Rules Committee from vetoing that vitally needed proposed legislation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3] Background Explanation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
° What's at Stake?
By
nature, having women in the Military generally involves monumental
harassment, exploitation, and abuse, as the Israeli experience so
tragically testifies.
Some reasonable
people may hypothetically subscribe to the notion that government has
the right to draft women in extreme circumstances. However, we all would
have to agree that in modern "Woke" America, it would be
an absolute disaster, from a moral, religious, and human perspective.
Forcing women into national service would ultimately devolve into
legalized human trafficking, even if it perchance would not start off
with that intent. Whatever possibilities that the federal government may
have been able to mitigate the dangers of drafting young women have
long been eradicated by the faux "Equality" movement, including it's
horrific transgender agenda.
° This all
applies to NON-combat positions. Combat positions elevate the threats to
women to an entirely different plateau of lunacy, as explained
previously, regarding the threat of capture by enemy forces not
particularly interested in equal-rights protocols.
° Targeting Religious Values:
These
dangers stand in addition to religious objections, which themselves
introduce an additional set of monumental concerns, particularly for
Jewish women.
° Realize that the religious
exemptions instituted in Israel, with good intentions on the part of
Rabbinic leaders, are currently being (systematically) eroded,
incrementally. In fact, the very same religious exemptions that were
initially demanded to protect religious women are now being exploited to
deny them their legal rights to automatic military service exemptions,
as recently indicated by an Israeli member of Knesset:
"During
the course of the Knesset debate, MK Betzalel Smotrich (leader of the
Religious Zionism party) said that the requirement for females to serve
in the army should be abolished altogether and should be on a voluntary
basis. Smotrich added that the “procedure which girls who declare
religiosity have to go through to receive their exemption in the last
few years is humiliating and shameful. The army employs private
investigators who track the private lifestyles of the girls including
spying on their Facebook pages and pictures and creating an illogical
barometer for religiosity.” ' {end of VIN News quote,
https://vinnews.com/2021/07/01/415263 } "
Moreover,
the world-revered "Brisker Rov," Rav Yitzchak Zev Soloveichik OB"M, was
adamant against compromising on allowing the drafting of ANY girls,
religious or not. In fact, he was even more opposed to the drafting of
irreligious girls, inasmuch as they would fall spiritually further and
faster than religious girls would fall in the morally corrosive military
milieu (see "Yeled Sha'ashuim," Rav Aharon Soloveichik, p. 348-350,
starting from the quote of Rav Michel Feinstein). If Israel would have
followed his Torah directives, we would be spared so many horror stories
we hear from Israeli girls and young women, both those caught in the
Army and those religious resistors braving the specter of arrest and
incarceration in military prison - to preserve their fidelity to the
Torah and their personal purity (e.g. regarding the case of Orah Chaya
and Moriah Leah R., Bnos Beruria (in the Summer of 5779) see
https://daattorah.blogspot.com/2019/07/wonderful-opportunities-for-public.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FIjWSM+%28Daas+Torah+-+Issues+of+Jewish+Identity%29 https://www.dropbox.com/s/sct41kbjry0ph5m/BS.docx?dl=0 ).
Avoiding Replaying the Israeli Catastrophe:
We
don't want to give any female draft proponent the backing of feeling
that if drafting women is "good enough" for Israel, it's good enough for
America. However, it's no secret that some female draft proponents like
to raise the Israeli female military draft as a paradigm to emulate.
You may recall the observation attributed to Einstein about the sign of
an idiot being repeating the same actions -all while expecting different
results.
Firstly, the ongoing, disastrous
female draft policy in Israel has been perpetrated in flagrant violation
of Torah Law. There is nothing whatsoever Jewish about it. Secondly,
from a practical perspective, that female draft policy is actually all
the more reason to ban the drafting of women, religious or otherwise.
For a sampling of reasons not to emulate the Israeli experience, see
the wealth of information accumulated by an Israeli organization (one of
an indisputable Zionist orientation), called "Chotam."
°
For one telling sample of many, here's an excerpt of an eye-opening
post that demonstrates how ripe for abuse the female draft is in Israel,
despite it's genuflection to "religious rights." It reminds one of the
saying, "be careful about you ask for - you might actually get it."
"The
following is a link to a Guidebook provided by the pro-Israel
organization "Chotam." It's an English guide for religious girls to
avoid enlistment in the IDF:
https://www.chotam.org.il/media/61762/pinkaskis-orange-english.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1hBP9tHJxSIfF07n8ywx27I_kWn0jfd9EOBy7fYfRe1xNChBPBU4qLLo0 ;
This
very publication is a stinging indictment of the Israeli Army Draft
Office, and the antireligious Establishment behind its escalating
crusade to rob religious and traditional girls of their legal
entitlement to a religious exemption from military service. The very
need to publish such a guide speaks volumes of the danger posed to the
next generation of Jewish mothers by "fellow Jews." The professional,
psychological warfare techniques that these 16- and 17-year-old girls
need to be trained to defend against, all alone - without even legal
counsel or a family member - are almost as outrageous as they are
anti-Torah. These techniques indicate how intent the Israeli military is
on drafting increasing numbers of religious girls, and to what depths
they're willing to stoop to do so. ..."
It's
noteworthy that the only way the antireligious Israeli Establishment
avoided a civil war with swaths of decency-minded Jewish residents was
to allow broad (automatic) religious draft exemptions for traditional
and religious women. It should also be remembered that the only thing
that stopped the antireligious social engineers of the Israeli
Establishment from drafting ALL girls into their notoriously promiscuous
Army was the very real promise of a civil war. That prospect was a
corollary of the obligation under Torah Law for girls to avoiding
enlistment in the exploitive, abusive IDF even on pain of sacrifice of
one's life (as per the directive articulated by leading Torah Sages,
commonly known as "Yai'horaig Ve'al Ya'avor"). What stopped the powerful
leftist government was the realization that many Jews recognized that
there are certain core Torah values worth dying for, as directed by the
Torah itself. A lesson that the Jewish People carry throughout history
is that antireligious regimes and their despots ultimately cannot
compete with properly applied self-sacrifice, "Mesiras Nefesh."
~~~~
For some historical perspective:
Drafting women into the military is a policy that's generally been rejected on practical grounds, for thousands of years, even
by governments led by very evil leaders. Although some congressional
representatives apparently have been misled, in fact they're serving as
useful idiots for those who seek to sacrifice the personal purity,
modesty, safety, and wellbeing of young females, along with American
military readiness, on the altar of faux Equality.
~~~
° Prospects for Success:
This
is a war we can win, G-d willing, and one we cannot afford to lose.
It's a war for the very soul of future generations. It's a war that can
be won with bulletins rather than bullets.

Thank
you! May the merit of taking a stand against the drafting of women
stand in our merit. May we especially merit protection from that which
the Prophets of the Bible prophesy about, regarding the great war of Gog
and Magog. Many religious Jews read about this war on the upcoming
Sukkos holidays, on Day One, from Zechariah 14 [see verse 2 regarding
the violation of women (cf. Radak, Metzudas Dovid regarding Gog)]. A
few days later, on Shabbos, we read from Yechezkel (Ez. 38:18 and on).* If
we allow this type of depravity to be perpetrated against women now -
what merit do we have to be saved then, when Divine Justice arrives in
force? (See Radak on Zechariah
14:2,3.)
~~~~
(*The Mishneh Bererah (664:10) mentions what we know from earlier sources, in regard to the timing of reading from Yechezkel, namely,
that (part of?) the war of Gog and Magog is to occur in the Hebrew
month of Tishrei. This year, Tishrei ends Oct. 6. (The U.S. war against
Afghanistan was launched 20 years ago in Tishrei.))
