Thanks, Phil - I always get it wrong, every time, thinking (incorrectly) "gender NOUNS, sex HUMANS" My apologies. Gender it is from here on out.

Redheat, I understand the point you are making, but to say that women shouldn't be drafted because of the danger of rape has a real flaw.

The Army has soldiers who are a danger to other soldiers. The Army needs to solve that problem. The female soldiers here are not the problem; the soldiers who are also rapists are the problem.

I have read a great deal about the problems some of our (female) soldiers have faced: sexual harassment, assault, and rape. But again, the Army (and other branches of the service) need to deal with that, not by removing the good soldier, but by removing the bad one.
