On Tuesday, a Senate committee passed an annual defense bill with a landmark amendment that would force women to register with Selective Service and be eligible to be drafted into war.

Senate Democrats have proposed a new law that would require young women to register for Selective Service, thereby making them eligible for being drafted into war.

The U.S. military launched defensive airstrikes against three facilities near the Iraq-Syria border on Sunday night.

A chaplain in the Army has filed an appeal after he received a reprimand for questioning the Biden administration's new policy on transgender military personnel.

On Wednesday, the Pentagon reversed several Trump-era policies that restricted transgender people from openly serving in the U.S. military.

 Congress halted the rollout of the Army’s new Combat Fitness Test. Unlike the old test, the new test requires men and women to meet the same standards of physical fitness. The problem is, so far, 54 percent of women have failed this new gender-neutral test.

Maj. Andrew Calvert, an Army chaplain with Fort Hood's 3rd Security Force Assistance Brigade, posted the comments on Facebook following President Biden's executive order Monday. 

The Biden executive order reverses Trump and institutes the Obama-era policy, which allows individuals to serve openly under their gender identity. A biological man who identifies as a woman, for example, can serve alongside women under the new Biden policy.

The Department of Defense recently asserted that they would like to create new guidelines in order to protect service members' religious freedom.
