I said "perhaps." We can't know until it actually happens.

It's not about being a woman's war or a man's war...
When kids grow up, they get an image of guys as soldiers...GI Joes, war movies that almost never contain women...women are rarely "conditioned" to think "someday I might have to go to war." And I'm not saying it's right, but many women just aren't ready for it.

I don't really have a highly supported reason for thinking this, but I think that if the government seriously considers drafting women then they should do it under a woman president. The reason I say that is because I believe we still won't see a woman for maybe a decade. It offers a period of "adjustment" to the change.
