Drafting women is not a bad idea at this point.

There are many support capacities they could fill thus freeing more men for combat roles. *shrug*

Rudey's point: The military was configured under Reagan to be able to fight a two front war and a third more minor action.

However, I don't believe we are up to that manpower ability anymore. The military took a lot of cuts in the past 10 years. Although, our manpower committment in Afghanistan is not really huge.

I don't really have any sympathy for National Guard or ROTC people that are suddenly faced with real service. They signed up.

Munchkin03's point: I understand what you are saying .. but think for a second! Men can be raped also.

An electric shock stick in the anus may be more painful than even straight rape on a girl.

Also, I'll step out on a limb and assume that being tortured to death is NOT fun regardless of the methodology or your plumbing!

The sanctity of your sexual apparatus may not be a good reason to keep women out of the military . . .
