Yes but when we talk about the draft we are talking about the armed services not just combat. So you draft women but make them all typists, I don't care. You wouldn't make a blind man the sharpshooter. If some woman is 6'4" 240 lbs and they want to be in combat, go for it. But let's not treat our men as disposable just because they are men.

I agree, if drafted women were for administrative jobs nowhere near combat, only. And I disagree, no woman, no matter how big and ugly, should qualify for combat. Under our system of law, then any woman can be put into combat, if one can.
