I believe the draft law was changed to include females in the beginning of this year...or the end of last. Regardless, it was before September 11th. This brings me to the point that I think people should start reading newspapers.

I am ready for any call to duty. I believe that the current system is antiquated and there are many women who would be willing to serve their country if drafted. Although I believe that many people in the general public would be disturbed to hear about female prisoners of war or female casualties. Most people aren't aware but in all previous conflists in the U.S, (as early as the Revolutionary war ) there were female combat casualties. They were called nurses most of the time. People do not realize the involvement of women in past wars. Military women are ready but, is the general public ready?

I don't think anyone should be compelled to do what they don't want to do but given a lot of information so they can decide for themselves. Besides, people who are forced to do something usually don't do as good of a job.

I don't know where I heard it, but I believe its a good idea. I think that a required stint in the military would give America a bit more respect for their freedom and for those who fight to keep it

Also, as for women being drafted, it is for the same reason that women were not allowed in war's until the Persian Gulf conflict ( as something more than nurse's) The American people think of women as something that needs to be protected, their mother's, daughter's or sisters. The men feel that they wouldn't be protecting women if they sent them off to war...it is sexist, but would you want your mom or sister to go to war?
