I agree, I think there are a lot of ways women can honorably serve, and have served.

Women in combat is wrong, and there are people linking the two. I can unlink them, and while I still don’t think women should be drafted even in a time of war (to me that is like eating the seed corn for next years crop) but I think there are plenty of options to serve honorably and well without putting women into combat roles.

If there were people pushing for the draft right now but not for women in combat, I might not be as alarmed.

But the fact is quite the opposite-there is a significant push to get women into combat, and nobody is really talking about the draft, except as a tool to frame women in the combat role. Heck, in the USN, it is a done deal already, and they are far worse off for it.

I’ve said it before and will again, it isn’t that there aren’t enough men to serve in the military, it is that this is liberal social experiment.

And by default, that makes it wrong.

True. But we are dealing with 2 Dictators in the WH who don’t give a rats behind about women and the facts.
