Yes, women are able to be as strong as men. There should be a promotion in the target audience for women to serve. There should be sexual assault provention programs and other programs to help women in the force.

If men can decide to take up arms whether for their own personal economic reasons or their beliefs than women must be allowed and have the duty to take up arms as well. If women are allowed to vote they must be conscripted at the same rate as men. If a woman's ability on the battlefield in combat may make her more vulnerable than a man, and even a liability as well, this needs to be reflected in conscription at a higher rate of woman than men to compensate.

Not if they are mothers and have small children at home, it is in my believe that a child needs his or her mother to raise them. They actually need both but most importantly the mother for nurturing them.

Let us look at the damage combat has done to men both physically and mentally. It destroyed them for any future civilian life. Our women do not deserve this, even if they might perform well under constant bombardment.

Not allowing women to serve is discrimination, but the military right now is rife with sexual violence and that is a more pressing concern

I think that women should have the option, but just like everyone, they need to understand the risks and be prepared to be treated the same when it comes to serving our country
