Just wait until we are forced to use the draft. Young women will now be drafted too. Woman in the militray, orhter then as nurses, etc, is a very bad idea. Thanks Bill.

You are so right. Once women are put in combat zones, even if it's by their own choice, there is little rationale to exclude women from the draft. So if one goes, we all go.

It's not fair to give women the option of being in combat when we all know that if the US were ever in a major war, men would not be given that option.

Nail on the head. If we were go to a draft, women should be drafted in numbers and MOSs proportional to the numbers and billets currently held. If we, as a country, are not willing to do that, women shouldn't be in the military in the first place.
