Apparently, you think women are too fragile to be good soldiers.

In battle, human beings are fragile generally. People sometimes even die.

Women can already fly jets, serve on submarines and drive trucks - why shouldn't they fight with the men. Be interesting to see the faces of some of the Islamists who get captured by them as well.

Hardly worth the prospect of the reverse.

There's going to be a great deal of resistance to the idea of women having to sign up for selective service, as there ought to be in the face of universalizing a wrong for the sake of equality.  But legally, the rationale courts have made for allowing excluding women from selective service has been that women are excluded from combat.  There may be other arguments for having women excluded from the selective service, but they aren't fashionable.
