Many here seem to equate registering for the draft as equal to being in front line infantry.

I don’t see that connection.

No, it’s basically sending in a postcard. Now, if you proceed to the draft physical stage, that’s something a little more...revealing to the participants. Mine was, anyway.

Does anyone here actually realize just what a small percent of people in the Army ever actually fight on some "front line"? Much of the Army is support and logistics. All the technology and tactics in the world won't matter if your logistics are f***ed. Drafting women into the military does not mandate them being at the front line participating in bayonet charges. Every person in support & logistics they free up could be one more man at the front line.
