And I disagree. I do not think that women who are pregnant or have small children should be drafted, but otherwise I think they are capable of serving. I acknowledge that, generally speaking, women are physically weaker than men, but if they can pass the same physical tests as a man, they should be able to serve in the same positions. The same goes for high-stress positions and psychological screenings.

Assuming that men and women are held to the same standards, I don't see why it should be the man's job to fight wars while the women hold down the fort at home.

"IF THEY CAN PASS THE SAME PHYSICAL TESTS AS A MAN".... you just said it yourself. Women who are not able to pass the same tests as men should not be eligible. Not many women can; therefore, a drafting of women is pointless.
