Just a thought...

No one mentioned how tough Emergency Room nurses are or other women in positions of authority (like running a prison) - these women are physically strong and tough.

It is true that I would have to be pushed to bring out ferocity, but then again, I am a pacifist.

The draft wouldn't take into account any particulars, just whether you are the right age.

I worked with the Navy on the flight deck fueling aircraft. I was there during Desert Storm. My muscles grew with the job and I could pick up anyone in a fireman's carry - the job made me strong. Humping a 12 pound nozzle and 100 feet of hose will do that. I have driven trucks most of my adult life and dealt with lots of abuse from men. I didn't cry, but I did get frustrated.

There are always exceptions to every rule.
