Women are a resource. You're making an argument for not having women in the military in the first place. For the time being, that argument has been settled.

To be used as what?

To be used in what ever capacity women are serving in now - the needs of the service. But, that's about a draft. I'm talking about registration.

The registration of 18-year-old men is a contingency. The registration of 18-year-old women would be the same thing.

No I'm not. Females were in the military from when the Draft was resumed prior to World War II through 1973. Nobody made the claim women did not belong in the military. Conversely, very few argued women should register for the Draft. That is because the memory of a real war was fresh in the memories of those who fought in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.

As for anything being settled regarding women serving, all I am seeing is the services saying one thing and doing another.
