Personally, I think people should attempt to put this issue in proper perspective. I could be wrong, but it is my understanding that only about 15% of service men and women are in combat roles where there is risk of life and limb.

Should there only be male mechanics, planners, communications and radar technicians, procurement officers, cooks, nurses, doctors, intelligence officers, etc, and why not Mable and Alice sitting somewhere in East Fumbuck, Iowa piloting drones over ISIS oil convoys?

There is a history of women serving in the military, and unless you believe females are inferior to males, there is no logical reason to exempt women from the draft.

I could not disagree more. Men and women are fundamentally different. Recognition of differences does not imply superiority of one over the other. Which is a better tool: a hammer or a screw driver? The differences between men and women are from the hand of God. It is a rebellion against God and an injustice toward women to deny these differences and force them into male roles. The fact that individual women might be to perform one or another male tasks is irrelevant. The good of society and the good of the family requires us to respect the complementary natures of men and women. It is time that we push back against this century old experiment of androgyny.
