Yeah, I mentioned that earlier, but the little devil standing on my shoulder, whispering in my ear is making me write this.
In those days, women were not drafted -- by law. So, does that mean that since they were still old enough, but didn't have to fight and die for their country, that they shouldn't have been allowed to vote?
Hee, Hee!
No, of course I don't believe a word of that, but that little devil can be pretty persuasive sometimes!
