Today young girl’s must enlist – they cannot be drafted
Under consideration
WASHINGTON—The chief of the U.S. Selective Service System has proposed registering women for the military draft and requiring that young Americans regularly inform the government about whether they have training in niche specialties needed in the armed services.
The Selective Service System, if given the mission and additional funding, is capable of registering and drafting women with its existing infrastructure.
Proposed federal legislation would reinstate a draft that would include all men and women ages 18-26 and mandate other forms of national service for those unable to serve in the military because of physical or psychological problems.
The bill's sponsors, Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y. and Sen. John Conners, D-S.C., said the legislation is needed to make the military composition more racially and economically similar to the overall society.
If our great country becomes involved in an all-out war, the sacrifice must be shared"," Rangel said in a statement. "This bill would end the current discriminatory system where poor people of color disproportionately enlist in the armed forces, see combat and die."
