The women want to be equal. So if the draft comes back then off to war the women will go.

If they don't go then they don't have equal rights. It's only logical that equal rights mean just that across the board and not selectively pick and chose what right should be excluded.

Feminist??? Thought that term died years ago, but I still use Fem-Nazi from time to time.
To answer the question, sure draft em all. Most of the military is logistics (75%) which means combat support mostly. All can play a part. Under actual combat ground conditions, I wouldn't.
Take an aircraft carrier with 3500 people on board to support the ship and its mission of about 200 aircraft (including female pilots). The aircraft go into combat and the rest support the operations to get them there.
Aviation, artillery, supply, transportation, maintenance, ordinance, and other logistics roles I don't have a problem with. I'm bias through experience.

The wonderfuk part of the United States Draft, is as of yet, women are not included in the draft. Due to the amount of issues that would occur. What if they have children? What if they're pregnant? Help problem...etc. For example, if you choose 100 Women: 75 could have kids, dad's already been drafted and no one to keep them, and 15 could be pregnant already. That leaves roughly 1/10 of the women in the group.... not worth it!

Personally speaking, I would never fight! My husband is in the US Army, currently serving in Iraq, my job is at home!

Despite the misgynist tone I am detecting here, I can advise you that in Israel, women and men alike are expected to serve their country.

Here in the good Ole USA, women are flying combat missions, and working in combat zones very close tio the absolute front-line fighting.

Relax, and try not to worry. The only way we would ever get back into a Draft situation would be if we were at war with China's billion man strong army...

BTW that's why we need/spend so much on high tech military hardware, so we can overcome 10 to one battlefield odds if we have to.

Whether they're feminist or not doesn't make any difference. I think, women should be included in the draft if it was to be brought back, because there are plenty of non-combat positions they could fill if that's the issue.

If women want equal rights, then they should not be treated any differently and not be kept out of the draft just because they are female.

probability is there'll be some provision for women people because of equivalent rights. women people have the stake contained in the protection of the country as adult men. notwithstanding the draft gained't ensue. no one needs it. it would want to take a important journey to reason it, on the size of WWII. people say it because of political motives and to apply worry with the purpose to get a level for the era of.

Earlier this year, a bill was introduced in Congress to resurrect the draft. In this particular bill, it included women in the draft. Therefore, if this bill passes both Houses, and is signed into law by the President, your question is mute.

I think women should be drafted, but not necessissarily (spelling?) for combat duty. Fact remains: a captured woman can become pregnate...a captured male cannot. I'm all for equal rights yada yada, but my thoughts on that are firm. Draft men and women the same, but not for the same jobs.

Are you just stupid or plain insane? This question shows just how many mental health issues you have -- as WOMEN are Serving already in this country's military, have Served in this country's military, and are going to serve in this country's military in the future.

We do NOT have a draft -- we have an ALL-VOLUNTEER Force -- a professional military highly trained for the responsibilities that they are entrusted to perform.

I see no problem with women being drafted, except for this detail that could cause endangerment to others. Ever 28 or so days you know period yada yada. But maybe they could find a way around this.
