The Middle Easterners will be thrilled. Just think, entire units of females will be captured and treated as harems. It doesn't get any easier.

Perhaps it would be more like entire units of women like Xena, Warrior Princess. It would really mess with Arabs' minds if they suffered battle losses to our female combat units. Just as in WWII the Germans were horrified to suffer battle losses to African-American units. <grin>

But seriously, I have real trouble with the idea of the draft only affecting men, if we did someday need another draft. There are many non-combat roles that women already serve.

As a Xena fan the thought makes me smile but I'm afraid the reality of that happening is slim to none. More than likely we'd have units of Jessica Lynches with similiar outcomes. She was in a non-combat role :- /

As a young nurse I would have entertained the idea of helping in that role, however physically, I've never been cut out for the military. I wouldn't survive boot camp.
