When were fathers not allowed in harm’s way?

Nice try. I said the US avoided sending them in harms way. Look up 1940's peacetime draft law.

It’s no different than if a man takes risks and suffers the consequences, whatever those consequences may be.

I disagree entirely.

Do kids suffer less because their dad was harmed?

If mom and dad hear a prowler downstairs one night, do you think it matters who goes down to investigate?

I wasn’t “trying” anything. I will look up your reference. It’s something I wasn’t aware of, so thanks in advance.

So you disagree. Fine.

A prowler? Let me share something with you: I’ve heard noises in our house before. The first time, I woke up my husband and expected him to get up, then realized, why couldn’t I do it? Guns, and their owners, don’t differentiate genders, and I’m a good shot. So now, when I hear something, I get up and fortunately, it’s always been nothing. If it is something, someday, I’m ready. My husband travels a lot, so being scared because I’m female doesn’t cut it. And my husband is fine with this because he trusts my judgement. And because he sleeps like the dead. Years ago, when I was single, I did wake up to find 2 men in my apartment. I got up and got them the hell out.

Have a good day.
