If women are to be allowed into combat, then there is no question in my mind that
they should also be eligible for the 'draft'. "You can't have your cake and eat it
too".

BTW why is it that as a male, at the age of 18 I had to register with the Selective
Service Board whilst women do not have to? I understand that currently they are 
forbidden from participating in combat, but are there not a myriad of non-combat 
related tasks that they could perform?
