//I know a woman who was from the WWII era, and she said that she and her friend wanted to sign up. They were told that the military does not take women, because a woman could be pregnant.//
Total BS. My great aunts all served in WWII military, WAC and WAVES. One aunt’s best friend flew combat missions.
I don’t know what the ladies meant, but perhaps they wanted to sign up for the front lines, which is what would happen if we allowed the politically-correct registration/draft for women.
