[ laughter ] she makes rambo look like beetle bailey. [ light laughter ] women have been serving in essential roles in the military all along, but the ban on women serving in combat created the illusion that they were less valuable to the military than men. including women in draft is controversial, but it's an important step in dismantling that narrative. or as congresswoman niki tsongas puts it -- >> this is really about changing an institution that narrowed and limited the roles that women could have, and i think it's really about saying the military needs to be fully equal. >> seth: because man or woman, everyone should be able to rip out the enemy's throat. duncan hunter introduced his draft america's daughter act as a joke, but if it becomes law, i think we all know who will have the la
