to military duty.

what we have today, is men and women volunteering to be soldiers. and still, i think most all of us are opposed to sending those men and women over to kill and be killed.

there is no need to dismiss girls and women that are stolen from their homes to be raped and used by men.

surely you do not feel that need to dismiss these girls and womens suffering.
