- Women have served with distinction -- mostly as nurses.

Many women are still serving. I am most definantely not a nurse yet serve in the Army.

-There could be regulations put in place to not send a father and mother into a combat zone at the same time. There was a rule about sole surviving sons during Vietnam.

Currently there is nothing in place for this. My husband and I are both serving in the same unit. If we deploy we both go. The children will be taken care of by family members. That was an arangement we had to make when we made the decision to have children. Why would they change it???

AS for women being drafted. It won't happen. Imagine the uproar when they require women to register for selective service and until that happens how can they draft them???
