they have a legit point. Women have fought for equal rights... They should have to abide by it.
Service to ones country if needed should be borne by all.
But if you're injured on the battlefield, who do you want to drag you to safety? A 130 pound woman, or a 200 pound man? I think women can serve in other ways, and I admit the battlefield has modernized (which of course increases the role that women can play), but it's still a physical fight. It makes sense for most of the fighting to be done by men.
