The left should love this assault on the nuclear family.

Maybe we should just pay our armed forces enough and continue with a volunteer army.

The latest figures were that only a small fraction of young Americans were capable of passing the physical in any case. This is a “sounds good” idea that would cause much disruption, cost lots of $ and not result in an improvement of the cohesiveness or preparedness of the armed forces.

Just because a small % of women volunteer doen’t mean that most women would be able or willing to serve. Easy for men & women past the age of the draft to think this is a good idea, they don’t have to go.

Just about any woman can serve in the military in some capacity such as clerical or supply.

This frees up men to do the fighting or jobs women cannot do because they lack the strength.

This is long past due. Women want equality and they should have it.
