I agree  with Karen about women in combat.  Men and women should be 
treated equally.  This includes being drafted.  I certainly don't think
my brother should have any greater responsibility for our country than 
I do.  (He wasn't drafted either.)

Which reminds me -- I've listened to a number of talk shows where older 
men who are veterans call up to tell the women speaking on the show
that they don't have the right to make comments about the political 
policies  of the United States -- because they haven't put their lives 
on the line like these men.

Another note -- it's amazing how often people forget that many women
have served the country and are veterans.
