Good job pryoplasm. I definitly agree with you on that one. Those who wish to join the army do it on a voluntary basis (at this point in time) and I welcome the 2 people to this post who have mentioned being in the army/about to be in the army. It will be good to see the other side of this case argued. I like the morale point. However, just to move along discussion, in the state it is today, how do you feel that morale would be affected if women were drafted, and further placed into front lines? Do you think the "woman" question is a major issue for you as a future army person? I'm just interested. Thanks! - Genia
