Oh, although I disagree with the draft at all[1], I think it should be gender-blind. What I was trying to say is that I think a lot of the people who are wigged out by bis/gays in the military are also wigged out by women in the military. I was also being somewhat snarky that the people who don't want women in combat don't always care if the women are in roles that will get them shot at (field medicine and the like), which makes me wonder what, exactly, they're really objecting to women doing.

As it currently stands, young (18-24?) men have to register with the draft board as part of registration to vote or to drive or something like that. This could easily be changed to include women or they could just do a database search, but as of right now the gun's only pointing at men.

[1] The idea of mandatory national service is interesting, but I object to the idea of mandatory national soldiering.
