US Draft

[tiraid]

Beretta,

You are right. If woman were not included in the draft, some of them would complain. Here's the thing. I don't care. That very small percentage would be wrong. Oh, no! I said it! They would be... WRONG???? How is that possible, you ask? Well, let me enlighten you. You see, sometimes, people say things and have oppinions that are false. Let's see if I can break it down into smaller, chewable pieces.. ah, contrary to the truth... to be the opposite of what really is... to be "incorrect". Shocking, but it happens. If some woman want to say that such a view is sexist, so be it. Again, I don't care. If they really want to be equal, they still have the power to join the military on their own. I will not change my views on what I know to be the right thing because I fear someone may oppose me. You condemed people who were afraid to fight and die? I agree, we should not be afraid to give even our lives for our country. But if it is wrong to fear death, which most people do, how much more wrong is it to fear to do what is right because someone may contridict you? You say "grow a pair" (very eloquent), which I assume means, "be a man". Why would you say such a thing? Isn't that sexist? I say it isn't. You were saying "be a man and defend what you know to be right", if I interpret you correctly. Berreta, I couldn't agree with you more. The defense of this country is a man's job. It is wrong to force a woman to do it. If a woman really wants to volunteer, so be it. Remember Jessica Lynch? Would that have been the story it was if she were a man? No, it would not. Why did the media spend so much time on that story if they truley, deep down, believed in equality? It was good money for them because the world watched, and they watched because it is terrible to see such a thing happen to a woman. Then there are the men on the front lines fighting next to the woman. How many stupid things do you think they have done trying to defend their female colleages?

Beretta, this is not a flame against you, I was just responding to your post. I can't stress this enough, and this is for anyone reading. Sometimes, you will be told things that are wrong. You need to just ignore it and stand up for what you know to be right, let the consequence follow.
