If war came, and the draft had to be re-stated, who could be drafted, that would actually fight, besides young girls?

    Women have pushed for years in the military that they are equal to men and can do the same jobs.   Finally after years of that they got their way and ALL jobs are open to women including front line combat jobs.    So based on that how can they now say that is we need a draft women should not be drafted along side men?     Even if you put aside the combat jobs they can be medical techs,  truck drivers,   supply troops and the like.    There is no logic to draft a guy to drive a truck if a woman can do it,  freeing the guy up for combat.   So if we have another draft you can bet women will be drafted.   But like today when it comes to deployment they will pull the one trick that we can not punish them for,  they get pregnant.

    I can't see drafting US females, IF the US military did draft females, 18 - 26, they'd end up with a lot of physically marginal personnel who couldn't perform physical labor of a general sort.

    Yes, I realize that US female physical fitness has in general IMPROVED in the last 20 or 30 years while US male physical fitness has DECLINED in the same period. And yes, I realize that PRIME physically fit personnel AREN'T needed for all military jobs. But, there are too many military jobs in case of war where a general usage of women wouldn't meet the needs of a military in a hostile fire area. But the Israeli Army uses females for many jobs.
