Since the Persian Gulf War, women have been put into more forward positions in the military for the first time: combat aircraft, front-line engineering units. Do you support sending American women into combat in Iraq?

Rep. Albert Wynn (D.-Md.): I believe that if women train for combat, and pass all the necessary qualifications, yes, they should be able to fight in combat.

Would you support a bill requiring women to register with the Selective Service, the way men have to at age 18 now?

Wynn: Yes. I believe that we’re at a point in time in our country where there’s essentially equality of the sexes. We’re certainly striving toward that. And with all rights come responsibilities, and I believe it would be appropriate for women to have to register.

Since the Persian Gulf War, American military women have been assigned for the first time to combat aircraft and front-line engineering units. Do you support sending American women into combat in Iraq?

Sen. Zell Miller (D.-Ga.): Nope

What do you think? Send trained woman into action? Include woman in a draft if one became necessary?
