and yet the sons are denied college loans and government training and jobs if they don’t register for the draft..which is all that would be required of the girls too...
the boys are penalized if they don’t but the girls don’t need too ??? either do away with the requirement for boys or include the girls too...
BTW the draft did not always lead to combat..there are many support jobs that are far from the battle field...women hold those jobs too...
The truth is that every Soldier goes through ‘Combat Training’ and that is first and foremost what being a Soldier is about, combat.
Recall Jessica Lynch who was a truck driver who somehow took a wrong turn and was captured and held for days until rescued. She was not a 'Combat Arms' Soldier. She was support.
I do not believe that the public will ever know the truth about what happened there. It is likely wishful thinking that she was just tossed into a room and left alone for the duration of her captivity. She was very fortunate to survive at all I believe.
I do not want this stuff for my granddaughters, or anyone Else's.
