As a parent (and a veteran, with a veteran wife), I wouldn't want my son or daughter drafted. If this makes it that much less likely that the government re-instate a draft, then I'm all for it.
Additional, there are millions? of women who have enlisted in the military, many of whom are already being sent into harms way. So we're already sending our women to war.
I think he's saying that is immoral to force women to be soldiers, not to make women who have volunteered to be soldiers actually fight.
Israel is due to need. Every citizen will be needed when that fight starts. Nearly every other example is a communist country, where people are workers rather than citizens in the concept we have here. Workers are expendable and gender has no bearing. Countries that don't treat their people like chattel see a difference and incorporate that difference into societal structure.
idealistic stuff aside, the main reason we keep our women home is you only need one rooster per henhouse to keep your populations up or restore numbers after a high dead rate war. Cold, crass, sure... but it is the truth of biology.
I don't really agree with this, but I'm hoping that by the time my daughter is old enough she'll be better prepared then the boys peeing in the bathroom stalls next to her in the girls locker room.
