This country doesn’t owe me a damn thing. I owe it everything. And I can never repay the debt I owe to those that have made that ultimate sacrifice.
It may be old fashioned, some might find it sexist - my wife is the heart and soul and glue of our family and my daughter follows in her footsteps, I’m not about to put them in harm’s way.
To force our wives, daughters, aunts, cousins to sign up for the draft...puts them in harms way !
The time may come where ALL may have to take up arms to fight once again for freedom. So be it.
But not today, not on my watch. Not while I continue to draw the breath of life.

Amen. I suited up in WWII as a combat infantryman from the Budge on. I could not believe that this is the place for a female in any war. Maybe up in the air is different or from a ship but living in a hole in winter ground makes no sense. If women think the 'need this experience' I don't want them in my outfit.
