You can't argue the other position? That they shouldn't have to? That would be easier. lol The sign up isn't really for a "draft". It is more for the recruiters. The service does provide young women as well as men, an opportunity outside of going to college right off.We were told we have to argue that women should have to sign up for the draft at 18, like men.
From an earlier post:geekgrrl said:The military, after all, is about physical strength, and that women want to be there at all demonstrates their desire to contribute as equally *as they are able* to the defense of their country.
Hoot said:You'll think I'm crazy, but one main reason I've read for keeping women out of combat roles is because of their killer instinct.
In the animal kingdom, females are usually the most ferocious, particularly when defending their young.
I'm not saying I buy this theory, so please don't go off on me, but women...supposedly get the "blood lust." Call it a maternal instinct, deep rooted in their psyches, or whatever, but the female is usually the more vicious killer.
The military wants soldiers that obey orders, not a soldier who may...in the heat of battle...start seeing "red."
Remember...this is not my opinion...just something I read in a publication like 'Psychology Today,' so take it for what it's worth.

Perhaps the Pro-Life folks should hook up with the P E T A crowd and have unborn children re-classified as animals. Then Roe v Wade would be rendered moot.Hoot said:You can judge a society, or an individual, by how well they treat their animals.

That would be a small sacrifice to save a million and a half infants each year.Hoot said:I think they'd have to leave their furs at home before Peta would allow them to join?
