i think they already have one of these, so why are you even discussing it.

Celtic, can you pick up an M60, run a few hundred feet, then still have the strength to drop into a prone position and fire full auto without letting the recoil get out of control?

The problem with drafting women is that the vast majority of average women simply do not have the frames to hack it in the military. The average load a soilder has to carry is something like 70 pounds. A woman, even at 140 lbs, cannot be expected to carry half her body weight for any distance, especially with a womans lack of upper body strength. If you want to draft women, draft them for non-combat and humanitarian goals.

No. I know some girls, during certain periods, that will make anyone run for cover behind the nuclear arsenal of America. But women can serve if they want to.

It's just my opinion, but I'm right.

we can do the same.

No I think everyone should be equal at everything even military. I hope to join the military force in a few years, and I don't expect to be treated differently from anyone else just because I'm female. I'm just as or stronger than any man.

why deny women the chance to feel so patriotic that they would die for their country?

i think that if the woman strongly believes in what she'd be fighting for, then she should consider serving her country. but if she disagrees, then i don't feel she should go and risk her life for something she doesn't believe in. i feel this way about all people. why die defending something you don't believe in yourself.

I disagree. Women arent should be exepmt from being drafted into combat.

Reason 1: Women cannot serve on the front line currently anyway so drafting them would litteraly do no good in a desperate situation

Reason 2: Women are the primary care givers for infants. We shouldn't take them for this.

Reason 3: When it comes down to it, they would draft women if it really really came to that point. They considered drafting women to be nurses during WW2 but didnt need to in the end because of a surge in voulenteerism.
