From the article:

Many Republicans are loath to admit that it is profoundly shameful to send our mothers and daughters to war.

And it's not problematic to drag young men into combat, conscripted into a duty they never wanted? Sorry, but if the feminists are bitching for the same rights and privileges as men, they should also carry the same responsibility to duty the men do. Force them to sign up for Selective Service to be able to be eligible for college grants and loans, and then we'll be halfway there. Besides, it's not like they're going to get socked into combat roles if they get drafted. They'll either get put in rear-echelon roles or they'll take the usual women's route out of the service by getting themselves knocked up. If the US is ever in a war where we have to put women into combat roles, we already done fucked up.
