Yup. So long as the draft selects people by merit.
If you need a few million fit people very fast, then you might not be able to select
them based on their individual merits. In this case (and only this case) it would make
sense to discriminate on the basis of gender, race (height different), professions,
etc., but this would not be a idea situation at all as you would miss out on many
of the better people in your hurry.
Woman kind may be physically weaker than man, but there are plenty of individuals
that buck the trend.
The idea that men should be the last on the lifeboats and first to the killing fields
is outdated.
I'm not saying everyone is the same. I am not saying everyone should be treated the
same. I am saying that everyone is different and should be treated as an individual on
their own merits/demerits, not those of their gender.
This is not only a issue of equality, but also one of efficiency and effectiveness.
