In some article about this they stated that our "constitutional rights" were being violated. How? It's not a "right" to serve. So I don't know where they got that.

Agreed. Serving is a privelage, but these days many things we know are privelages the 'masses' think should be rights..

The law keeping women from having to sign up for the draft will go away if women are allowed in infantry. That's the only reason we aren't required to sign up for the draft. Because that's to fill up infantry basically.

Again agreed. BUT i am all for it. IMO keeping it to where women don't have to sign up is sexist.

I think that combat MOSs should be open for those women who can MEET the same standards but not force any who don't want to do it. I mean all males don't have to be infantry. I think women should have to sign up for Selective Service too. But I really don't like people outside the military getting involved with these things. And there is no "right" to serve. I think things are a lot better for females today than 10, 15, 20 years ago and on in the past. It's not perfect but it never will be.

+1 to that. I am all for women in combat, if they meet the same requirements (check out the threat we had on this a few months back)..

I don't buy the whole "you mut be in the military to have an opinion on who gets to be in the military."

That's the only part i will disagree with you on. To me, before someone gets on a high horse and starts ranting about what they feel needs to get changed in the military, they should have served, so they know what they are on about.
