1) They wouldn't draft both parents of a household.
2) Men would probably be preferred for combat roles, women for support roles. Logistics, supply chain, medics, etc.

Well, my husband is in a medical company in the Army. There are about 50 people in his company and only 10 of them are men. My husband is a lab tech. Out of those women, at least 15 of them are pregnant. They don't have to do physical training, and they get to stay inside most of the day. My husband, however, has nothing to do because they aren't currently deployed so some days he goes out to the shooting range, and the preggies don't go. Some days he works in the motorpool doing inventory on hospital equipment coming back from Iraq, and preggies don't do that either. So, basically, they sit there and look pretty. Most women in the Army do a piss poor job at their MOS. Most of them are whores who couldn't afford to go to college and join a sorority. Additionally, isn't the point of a draft to have people to FIGHT over there? Women aren't allowed in combat (for the reasons listed in my previous post). Are we really going to draft a couple MILLION women just for the purpose of training them up to be medics. That's pretty pointless. We have tons of women that are already in the medical profession. Joining the military to be a medical MOS during times of war should be voluntary on the part of women. I just live by the notion that women really aren't meant to be in war. Like I said before, men are better able to hide their emotions. Do we really want that many women running operations similar to that of World War 2 and Vietnam. If you know history well enough, the women pretty much took care of our country during WW2 while the men were overseas fighting, thus putting into overdrive the women's workforce. I see no benefit in drafting women as well.

Women want equal rights except when it comes to the messy shit, i.e.- the draft.

This is probably one of my most prickish stances, but either women get FULL EQUALITY (draft), no equality, or we eliminate the draft.

(Another reason why I don't want a women anywhere near the office of President, at least not until the draft is fully extended or eliminated all together...)
