Well I keep saying, if women are not equal to men, why do we allow them into the military at all, i've heard all sorts of things on this thread, some of which I believe is undeniably true, lots of which I think is ridiculous.

I know men have the genetic propensity for greater muscle mass faster than women.
I know women have the genetic propensity for greater endurace than men.

I've yet to see any proof on the issue of emotional detachment and personally think its a big fat load o' crap.

During the draft allowing women to be drafted would increase the number of warmbodies available, this is good in all sorts of ways. If your really so sure that a woman could not suceed in combat there is base camp maintenance, cooking, hauling, tending to wounded(even without being a nurse its good to have help) all sorts of stuff.

Whether people want women in combat or not is a different story, I assume they don't believe women should join most branches of the military. No pilots, no front line fighters, no reconaissance, no nothing, even with all that no base camp is ever truly safe.
