In regards to political games with the feminists....I don't want to risk the lives of American femininity, just to call the (often irrational) feminists' bluff.
I believe a lot of activist feminists--being personally older than draft age, AND thinking if women were included in selective service, we'd be a LOT less likely to ever use it again---would be more than happy to have young women required to sign up with the selective service.
This is just a sign of an increasing moral erosion--of blurring the line between men and women.

Forgetting tradition and e'spirit de corps issues....the most rational thing would be to have blind physical strength and endurance tests for men and women--and those who passed could go on to various combat roles. We know from physical differences--90% of young men would pass, and 95%+ of young women would not...but then we'd have similar roles as we do now in the military--and this wouldn't suit the PC/feminist crowd, since results would prove them foolish in their absurd ideas of "equality."
Men and women are of equal value for society only when they are in different roles. Killing people and breaking things---since it requires physical strength---should be left up to the men.
Our enemies will not be so foolish as to worry about "equality."
