    They're being given the same standards as men in the Military, they should be subject to same processes we are.

    I do not agree with a draft. People should be allowed to join a military by their own free will. The draft is not a fair way to recruit troops, with the exception of perhaps in war time. Then I still would not agree in a draft for women. I suppose I am more traditional in that sense.

    President Dwight Eisenhower warned of the producers of military weapons taking over the government and keeping us in a constant state of war. The Kennedy brothers were both assassinated (government coup d'etat) to perpetuate this constant war (think about the last time we were at peace for at least 10 years). LBJ's relatives owned munitions plants and prospered greatly from war. Putting any of our young people in harms way for the increased prosperity of the arms producers seems ludicrous at best, especially women.
