Ya know there was a time when women couldn't even be considered for military use, they had to fight and fight for that right, a ton of women WANTED to get drafted, WANTED to fight for their country, but they just couldn't, because they weren't allowed. Now, it's a little better, though there are still many who cannot respect a military woman, especially if she outranks them, they tend to resent her, and there are certain things they are still not allowed to do (women cannot serve on submarines, or become a navy seal, for example). Granted, there are some justifiable reasons for that; living in a cramped submarine for months can get very... messy, and a pretty lady on a ship full of men is probably not the best idea, and navy seals require a boatload of stamina and strengh, and the average woman is physically weaker than the average man, but in this case if they can pull their weight why not give them a chance? They can't even apply for it.
About the draft, I bring up what I just said about women on average being weaker than men; it isn't because they are out of shape, their bodies are just different. There is no chance in hell that a 'girly girl' could pass combat training, and as a result should not be allowed anywhere near a battlefield. There are a helluva lot of men as well who can't pass, and they shouldn't be forced into the military either. The fact is, the women who are able deserve the right to join the army/marines/navy/etc., but to force something on every single person even though they will just end up dieing or getting others killed is just dumb.
Basically, equal choice and equal opportunity. If a woman wants to be a soldier she should be able to. If a man wants to be a ballerina he should be able to. Without stigma, and with respect and ackowledgement of their skills.
