The draft should come with the franchise, you vote,
you can be drafted. Only those who are physically able
should be in the combat arms.

Exactly. Registering for the draft doesn't mean getting drafted. Getting drafted doesn't mean being assigned to combat arms. If you're not fit for the duty, you don't get the duty.

In the meantime, the libbers will rue the day they demanded "equality" when Suzy Cheerleader is doing 50 hard ones in the Georgia mud.

Yup.
The problem is not women in the draft pool.
The problem is two sets of physical and mental standards.

Anyone who can't (or who refuses to) understand that isn't worthy of serious debate, only mockery. Which I have been delivering online and in person for several years now.

Women in deployable MOSs who do not deploy damage moral and are a drag on combat effectiveness. They reduce the billets available for downtime between combat deployments. If women are going to be in those slots they need to be rotated into combat and (not really sorry about pointing this out to anyone offended on this forum) whether they live or die it will be an improvement over the disgraceful situation we have now.

The proper solution is to return to one set of standards.
