Oh, okay. That has nothing to do with what I said, though.
Look, I'm not saying force women into all combat roles. I'm saying allow women who are capable of doing certain jobs to do those jobs. If that means there will be virtually no women infantry, then fine. But that isn't the only combat role out there. It doesn't make sense to prohibit capable personnel from doing jobs (whether they be women or homosexuals), especially when you have the spectre of a draft hanging over your head.
