Also if they alow women in to combat MOS's they >should also be able to be drafted. I think that whether or not women are allowed in combat MOSs, they should be subject to the draft. My reasoning is this: if women are allowed in combat, they should be subject to being compelled into combat (same as men). If not, they should be subject to being compelled into service so that men (under this assumption capable of serving in combat MOSs) could be transferred into combat positions. Before the Gulf War began (November, I think), one of my girlfriend's instructors asked the men in the class what they would do if it came to war. My girlfriend replied that the instructor should probably consider what the women would do, as well. -- Jeff Medcalf jkmedcal@uokmax.{uucp|ecn.uoknor.edu} !chinet!uokmax!jkmedcal BoB smokes *my* pipe!
