Why the worst? On the basis of looks? On the basis that their military training took their femininity away? On the basis that they were too tough once they were soldiers to be any fun any more? I'm just curious what that description was based on.

I think the draft ought to go both ways, myself, if we have one If a tall, slender type like me can pass a firefighting physical, which wasn't easy but was possible with work, then nearly anyone can. We'd have to work around pregnancies, and I do agree with Stinky that a lot of women would likely get pregnant to get out of service. But fair is fair. Women are already serving as fighter-bomber pilots overhead. They're already serving as military medics in combat situations. There've been three courageous service awards given (two silver stars and a bronze, I think) to female medics in Iraq and Afghanistan. More than 100 of them have died in the line of duty to these wars. So it's already really happening, really. We might as well make it official.
