Should women be drafted? - Page 2

After reading through this thread about women in combat, it made me think about a related but totally different question.

Here's a hypothetical question for you.

Let's say all hell breaks out in another part of the world, America's all volunteer force can no longer meet the demands, and they start the draft. If women are allowed into the military, and eventually into combat positions, should they be drafted?

If so, should they be forced into combat roles?

Should they be treated different than any other draftee because they are women?

I believe in equal rights, not just women but any person who can meet the requirements of any position, in the military or civilian life, should be given the opportunity to do so, if that's what they choose to do. Should they be forced to do it like they do to men?
