I know, right? If women are being sent to war, then men are no longer defending the wimmen-folk. If you're not defending your women and children, then just what the hell ARE you fighting for? What's the point of it if not that?
Quite a few nations draft their women too nowadays, and send them off to war whenever a war is thrown and their country is invited. Israel is one of those countries. I reckon the US could follow their lead and send their women off to fight, too. I can tell you first hand that there is nothing on a battlefield so vicious as a woman. Scares the hell out of me just thinking about it. They are vindictive, vicious,and non-stop when it come to war, and they take no prisoners. Far more so than the average man.
On the other hand, I think most American males have not faced that, much less have they come to terms with it. Therefore, in the event of women on the battlefield, i think "chivalry" would kick into the psyches of most American males, and they'd needlessly be trying to "protect" fighting women who really need no extra protection, and that circumstance would cause them to look after themselves less and the wimmens more, and that would cost perfectly usable lives.
So, in reality, No - I don't agree with a draft for anyone, not even feminazis. It's a terrifying thought.
