I have 5 nephews and I fully support this. This will cut their chances of being cannon fodder by 50%.
SJW's of both sexes can share a common delight of MRE's for supper and shitting out in the boonies as well.

To be blunt about it, we need to actually USE the draft, and women should certainly be part of that. Right now, the military is the most conservative major institution in the country, and one highly funded by all of us. It should represent us better. Sure, conservative, most rural, professionals will always dominate, but a balance of diversity in the lower ranks will benefit the institution by making it less hidebound. It also assures that we all have skin in the game, making war less likely.

This rather spells the end of the draft-based army. Better invest in PMCs.
