Re: Women and the Draft
Wow now...let's ease the tension. I think the main focus of this post (ideally) is what role women should play in the draft, and for the sake of avoiding argument, I'd like to stick to that. Personally, I would avoid the draft at all costs as a person because of beliefs, not because of my being female. If I was, however drafted, I would not feel very comfortable saying goodbye to male friends and watching them forced into service while I get out on account of something that is not by any means an issue (physical hardship, pregnancy are good physical reasons, not "womanness".) So I have to say my answer is yes, women should be included, because military is more than frontline combat, which I personally would never participate in through this conflict.
