why can't women be drafted
The reason (c. 1996) for not having women be draft-eligible was that women didn't serve in combat. Women now, by court ruling, may serve in combat. That reason isn't valid any more. In any case, a modern military is more than just front-line troops.en fight so that women don't have to. I will volunteer to fight any day of the week if my country need me to. But I will never want my girlfriend or wife to be drafted. Imagine you fighting in combat and having the thought of your girlfriend or wife or little sister fighting in another battlefield or maybe dead.
