Since every man and women in Isreal is considered a member of the armed
forces, and must serve some active duty (between the ages of 18-35 I think),
and there is a precedent of invasions into "domistic" areas (not normally
considerd a war zone) doesn't that suggest that a women in Isreal might very
well see Combat Duty.


Anyway, Isreal is a country still actively engaged in a war in its homeland and
their requirements and solutions do not necessarily have a bearing on our
armed forces.

So in answer to the question "should women be drafted for combat duty?" I
say absoulutely not.....
