So what would you 2 want to replace said females in the military? The draft?

If the GOP re-instituted the draft after so vehemently denying it, they would have an extremely difficult task of being reelected in this country for a long time....

No I don't want the draft. We are just going to have to learn to fight a leaner more efficient kind of war. BTW one of our boys is working on a project for the Navy that will do just this.

I kind of agree with the others too. I don't think women should be in combat situations. There is this movement to defemanize women and emasculate men. You get something milk-toast like in the middle. Yuk!

Women could be in auxiliary units,as I said.

We did very well for many,many years without women in the military facing combat.

That would open a whole new can of worms, as the very day the first draft notice is received will be the first day of a lawsuit alleging discrimination against men.

And it is easy to envision judges mandating 50% of draft notices be sent to women, and it is easy to envision a lot of light-bulbs going on above the heads of "enlightened" people that support women in combat (I said combat, not "military").

I agree, the draft would be political suicide. I know there are times we might not agree on some things (I've seen your posts) but thanks for serving our country and be careful over there.

You are correct. We won't have another draft...until we have another major incident. Either a war or an incident, oh say like the Russians had with fanatics sneaking up from the southern border and murdering school children. Then we'll draft folks if only to secure the borders...
