I understand that they are women and crap, but thats very fair. Because of their feminism that they get a get out of draft free card. I thought women wanted to be treated equal?

The Supreme Court examined this issue in 1981. Basically, the court said that the purpose of the draft was to increase the number of combat troops for the military. Since women can not serve in combat roles, the Supreme Court said it was okay to exclude them from the draft.
Personally, that doesn't make much sense to me. If the military needed a lot of combat troops, they could shift male volunteers serving in support positions to combat positions, and then draft women to fill those empty support positions.
Of course, I also do not believe in having a draft at all. I bet most feminists also disagree with having a draft, which is probably why they don't push for equality in this area. I still think they are hypocritical, though.

The Universal Military Training and Service Act was passed in 1947. That's right after the end of World War Two when the drive in America was to get women back into the home and the kitchen, despite the record of work they did in wartime industries. Since women are now a major part of the volunteer armed forces (with the exception of being barred from direct combat arms) there seems to be no need to amend that statute. One out of every five personnel in the Air Force is a female. There's a high percentage in all of the other branches as well.

it is certainly time for women human beings to be protected in selective provider. equivalent rights has pushed women human beings to the leading side of very very nearly each stroll of life. it is barely honest that they do their area to serve their united states besides. presently women human beings get each and all the privileges of equivalent rights yet not one of the harder universal jobs. people who're no longer bodily stable sufficient can serve in lots of different sides of the militia. BTW, i'm a female.

They don't want to be treated as "equals." They want special rights in the work force, among other things (feminist types, that is).
I'm not in favor of women in combat, but they could fulfill vital and important roles and positions.

They want to be treated equal on their terms. Not all women are like this of course, there are exceptions.

Only at their convenience. But really, you don't want women to be drafted into the military, just ask the Israelis... see what they have to say.

Women did serve in many important roles during WW1 and WW2. Today`s women are a bunch of softies who want everything given to them ;)

I think they should be included, at the very least if the Army doesn't want them for combat, they can fill support roles.
