I am a woman, and I agree if women are going to hold a men's job they need to also be required to register for the National Selective Service when they turn 18 like the men do.

If the United States were to implement a draft for this war, it would further the breakdown of American patriotism, as we know it; especially this late in the game. There is no doubt, however, that if the draft were to be implemented in the event the United States was directly involved in a just war in defense of our nation or our allies, women would be right there getting their card punched.

I would like to know who stripped Tony Bennet's testes. A pacifist? Are you kidding me? If everyone had the choice, we would all be pacifists. Unfortunately, there are people in the world that believe in aggressive military action and terrorism to obtain an objective. That's where the requirement of a military comes into play. Even in the bloodiest of engagements during our civil war, no military body ever committed genocide in murdering thousands of innocent civilians at time. If there had, I can guarantee that the victims would pray continuously for someone to come and give justice and security, no matter what country they came from. Yes, the war in Iraq is sloppy and poorly planned, but that does not mean that we are not doing the right thing in liberating an oppressed society that seeks to find it's way into the 21st century.

God is with you.

I like so many Americans who went out this November and voted for change and against the hate and vile politic's of the Religious Reich, find this to be Great but we may well have just seen the start of Women in a leaders position. After all they really can do as good as men and sure as HELL can do a lot better than the pathetic Loser in the White House now.

Great now Women should be required to register for National Selective Service when they turn 18 like men do.
