If you want equality you could have it either way as everyone has already discussed (all or none).


But if you were to draft women as well, what role would they be best suited. Comparing a perfectly physical fit man and woman is completely unfair considering both sexes' physical limits are different with men's being higher, making their physical strength the military's "default".


In previous news that they were to allow women in frontline combat roles, they stated that the requirements for them to join would be lower. Now, regardless of the best efforts of a woman, they will be a lower standard to men in the military, and therefore not as good. This isn't being sexist, it's plain fact.


So a role for women in the military could be put to use in any situation where strength isn't absolutely neccesary, i.e. Armour, Transport, Operations/Admin/(whatever the official title is of "mission planner"), support roles, etc. whilst men continue to take the roles where strength is a priority.
