- If women ran the world
There would be no wars
Just a bunch of jealous countries
Not talking to each other

I suspect strongly that women in combat would be far more agressive than their male counterparts.
__________
Really now "far more agressive", other than your own personal experience serving with both, what biologically or physically would suggest this would be the case, because in most instances and in the animal kingdom, males are much more agressive, and they have the extra muscle mass to carry out that agression. - Reply to this comment
- You missed the point: Only men are required to register for Selective Service or face penalties for not doing so.
Though the "Draft" eneded in 1975 or so, 18 year old men in America are required to register.
There used to be a law where women 'couldn't vote' either some 80+ years ago.
Women seem to want all the opportunities that men seem to have and not the responsibility.
why are the men, their lives, dreams so 'expendable'?
Equal opportunities demand equal responsibility. - Reply to this comment

- Ranger told me that Brave men were out there protecting me.
Yes...and Brave Women too! Including my niece who is now a corporal in the Marines! And has been honored as the best Marine of her....group...I wanna say Battery, but I don't think that's the right word.
I just pray God watches over ALL of them. - Reply to this comment
- So I'm assuming that if there's another "draft" women will have to go too.
No?
Didn't think so. - Reply to this comment
- Women should not be allowed in combat...they are far to barbaric.

- I can see that waging a war in Afghanistan would blur the lines between 'fighting' and 'non-fighting' roles.
