This old feminist has no problem with women defending their country, sharing that responsibility equally. My son volunteered in his day and my granddaughter is planning to enlist when she is done with school. My biggest worry right now is the high rate of rape among female recruits in This Man's Army. Hope something can improve there.I hope all the feminists who scoffed at me decades ago in my first political speech at my state capitol are still alive. I said at the time, when speaking for the rescinding of the ERA, their version of equality would eventuality lead to the drafting of women into combat. They screeched at me as being a preposterous hysteric.
This movement putting women into combat was started by Pat Schroeder. I want her name to be forever noted for posterity. Her wiki page makes no mention of her key role in this. I find that very interesting.
