Women in the military is OK, but having them carry 100 lbs. on their back is the same as for a man to carry 200 lbs. on their back.
If women can be law enforcement officers, firemen, and other types of workers without having the regulations changed then at least they could be on military bases where a gun could be used if necessary.
We CAN NOT have women in the Draft if it were to come back?
I would say women would have an easy job of getting out of that by becoming pregnant, but you could just pass a law that if they do to avoid the draft then they spend a year in prison!
It would be like women are NOT Allowed to have an office job ANYWHERE in the Military at ANY TIME, thus men are to have those menial positions and women CAN NOT!!!
