something to think about--
if women were to be drafted....what would happen if a husband AND a wife were to get drafted? who would take care of their kids? how would they determine what would happen to them if there was no one to place them with? what if BOTH parents died? and how would you determine that wife number 1 could stay home with her young kids but wife number 2 had to go fight even if they were both drafted?
plus, i don't know about other women, but i would be a burden to any army. i can't run fast, i can't run long, i'm not strong and i would just make a lousy soldier!
i don't think we'll have a draft any time soon. but i do think that many students join ROTC and the army to help pay for college...NOT with the intentions that they will ever become real soldiers. many will be in for a rude awakening unfortunately.
