Women can't be drafted...it wouldn't make sense. Who would take care of the new born babies who need their mother? Or, who will take care of the children? Besides, think about all the pads and tampons the army would have to buy. That's a major loss of money; not to mention risks of sexual abuse/rape. That requires a whole lot of extra medical supplies...
If a woman chooses to fight, then fine (crazy to me; being around all those horny men...) but being drafted wouldn't make sense for all women

Men are built differently, so if there is a war, men are more suited to fight. They don't have to worry about boobs being in the way, or periods to slow them down. We are built differently, so in some cases, one sex is suited more for a situation than others...nothing wrong with that

some women feel they have to prove something if they join the army....to me, i don't have to prove anything if I run the risk of dying or getting raped. just doesn't make sense to me...

I think that people need to stop thinking of women as "weak" and not being able to fight for their countries. Drafting might be a negative thing, but if it's happening to men, it should also happen to women.

I think that men have the itelligence to take care of babies. And more and more men are becoming stay-at-home-dads. The kids are shouting "I want my daddy" more often now. It's a slow transition, but I don't think that women should be denied to go to war and fight for their country, they are citizens too. I also don't believe that periods would be the biggest issue concerning women in the army. A lot of women are not slowed down at all because of periods. It's natural, not a disadvantage to women.
