Send your daughter to war

[Great-Kazoo]

1) Good. About damn time. You want to be an "equal", this (among other things) is what it means.

2) Barring invasion by space aliens, the potential of the US ever implementing a draft is effectively zero. The days of everyman's army are long long gone.

Between the DADT and gender neutrality acceptance today. It would take who knows how long for an enlisted person to be battle station ready.

Excuse me, is that my sports bra or yours? Oh my bad, these must be your boxers.

On the one hand I'm glad because of equality and all.

On the other hand stuff like this makes me think that western civilization is on its way to collapse and/or be over run and humanity is about to be plunged into a thousand years of darkness.

Nahh! I've seen the end of this movie. Gollum bites the ring off of Frodo's finger and falls into Mount Doom. Good beats evil.

Sorry about the spoiler.

Equal number of occupied body bags coming back home too.

Sadly, I don't think this is true.

About darn time. It'll be interesting to see how this shakes out. I don't imagine the rules will remain the same.

I doubt this is really well thought out, and could lead to unintended consequences...

"no Ma'am, it doesn't say anything in the law about pregnancy being an excuse from the draft- off to basic training you go"

Nah, that will certainly be an exception for service, or better yet, just a deferment. I can forsee a lot of young women getting pregnant just as war is declared.

Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics don't build their factories on the front lines.

In a protracted war, that's exactly what sending women to the front is doing with our future soldiers.

That's already been happening-or least with upcoming deployments. My son saw multiple examples last trip to Asshole-istan.
