Rudy, you over simplified my statement. That point could fill a whole other thread on GC. Of course fathers aren't unimportant and I did not SAY they were. When you consider the age of most draftees, I think it is fair to say the children would be very young.

Can you imagin a 8 month pregnant woman in a fox hole?
...and when the babies come, and there would be babies, are you or any man equiped to nurse them?
This is silly.

Beside, the REST of my post stated-Won't argue against office duties, only being in a position to be captured. That's just one person's opinion though.

I had double posted and the original one did not clarify, you simply copied it within a matter of seconds prior to the deletion.
Now now, I don't think they're sending pregnant mothers into fox holes. I did not say that and if your original point was that you were worried that pregnant women would be forced to serve in a physical role should the draft include women, then I totally missed that; I apologize. However, you should know that as applied to males and their families there are a great deal of exemptions. Were the draft applied to the female population, I am positive that they'd allow exemptions and priviledges to women as well.
