Lordy I'm going to get myself in trouble here;

Let me preface this response with the fact that I am a feminisit through and through, however;

There is a physical difference between men and women. As far as the draft you really couldn't draft women. I have every respect for a woman who wants to serve in the military. Yes I do believe that a woman who willingly goes into the Military, who is trained both physcially and mentally , can serve along with a man.

However there is one large elephant in the room that many avoid seeing...SEX. How many of our female soliders are raped, molested or harassed in the military? Many more than anyone wants to address. The military wants to keep it under wraps because well, they are the military. Americans don't want to see it because they don't want to believe their good little boys would do such a thing. Woman don't want to see it because they want to prove that men and woman can serve beside each with no consequence. Meantime the women keep getting raped and abused and no one wants to do anything about it.

I don't have the answers and my hope would that someday any woman who wanted to serve her country could do so safely. It's bad enough that they have to worry about what the enemy could do to them, but they also have to worry about what their own could do to them. You couldn't ask women to be put into that situation with no choice, sorry.

On the other hand a draft which included daddy's little girl could bring about the end of any war rather quickly. I still contend though that we have not evolved far enough yet that would allow us to take that chance with the lives of so many young women.
