What happens if they bring in draft to invade Iran?
They would need to as Iran will be 20 times harder than Iraq was/is.
Point I am making is that they will have to bring in draft for British/American women too to be PC
They tell us we are all equal and women can join in combat missions and so why not be drafted too (this is sexism)
I think the sexual equality board will demand that women be drafted as well.
Can you imagine some 16 year old girl in Iran :crying:
This could be a minefield for Bush/Blair and co....

England will let women join the army but not in any unit considered 'front line' so roles such as infantry, armoured brigiad and mech inf are male only. However; signals, logistics, engineers, feild hospital and other support roles do take women on.
The reason behind this is old fashioned thinking and something that has been seen in mixed sex armies before (I was given Isreal as an example) - any women who are wounded are gang raped by their section, not only taking the section out of action, but its very nasty for the women in question and will cause a huge scandel at home. Plus I think men make mistakes when perving over women, and this is a situation where you don't want mistakes.
Exactally. I mean, imagine the scandal if some of the recent British army Scandals happened to women - it would be blown out 10 times worse by the media (e.g: Marines and erm, "odd" wrestling).
Plus, as you say - men perving over a woman in a combat situation would cause problems and take his mind off the job.
I doubt women would get drafted in the UK, and the US can just go to some poor suburb and grab a few jobless teenagers.
I think you've been misinformed - the numbers of injured women gangraped by their comrades is pretty low.
Their is an argument for women not being in combat, but gangrape by their comrades isn't it.
In America I know women are more gradually being introduced to the front line. Israel does it too, I believe. And it doesnt seem to have blunted the IDF's fighting ability, nor the USA.
Perhaps its aiming for transexuals?
I will be a conscienctious objector. :yes:
How d'you know I'm not already on the case? :chin:
I suppose you can give them good equipment, but without the training... it's a bit of a waste.
Oh well. They could be the French armed forces...
As for drafting... Nobody should be forced to go out and kill (I'm fortunate, if it happened I probably wouldn't have to go)... I don't think they'll drft for Iran somehow.
i think there would be a massive public ...fuck you.
the public would revolt.
my faith has recently been restored ...identity cards ...fuck off.
encitement to racial hatred ...fuck off.

They will have to draft for Iran as they will need to to invade and occupy Iran.
Iran would be 7 times harder to beat then Iraq :eek:
They would face 10+ suicide attacks every day :crazyeyes
BTW The reason why UK troops are going into Afghan is to free up US troops to attack Iran.
They'd get the "fuck you" from me anyway... I wouldn't even fucking make bombs for the cunts.
Well said. :thumb:
Maybe she doesn't support the idea of a war with Iran?
I want Matadore to come into this topic and make an amusing post.
I would never fight in a war, I would never make bombs either (as women did in WW2, which in a funny sense contributed to the emancipation of them) as it's against both my morals and spiritual beliefs to do so.
Good thing people though a bit differently in 1940 eh? Or our kids would be marching up and down the schoolyards of great britain singing the Horst Wessel song!
Thankfully many brave people answered the call and sacrificed their own lives so that we could decide our own moral and spiritual beliefs in an imperfect democracy.
