Who in the hell said that women will be drafted, Michael Moore? Women do not register for selective service.?

That would have been Rumsfeld. While he is being a scape-goat for the bush-league, might as well go whole-hog.

Congress can do anything they want. It is called checks and balances. Any branch of government can do anything they want, they just need the other branches approval. The dems will never bring the troops home now either. What most Americans don't get is the complexities of war, government, etc... yes soldiers are dying, Iraq's are dying...don't you remember the civil war? We can't say that we are perfect when we had a war like this less then 150 years ago. Also, 150 years vs. most other countries and we are a joke. Study your history, and support your troops.

God bless my fellow soldiers.

Yes, only men register for the selective service. It would require a vote of the Congress and approval by the President to change that. The President cannot call for the draft, only the Congress can do that.

But to your other points, Congress CANNOT bring the troops home: only the Commander-In-Chief can do that. The only thing Congress could do is stop paying for the war. Which of course, they won't do, it would be political suicide.

women human beings and gays can at the instant stay away from militia service with the help of the two getting pregnant or popping out of the closet. jointly as I in certainty help ruining the get away clauses for the two certainly one of them, as does Obama, i'm afraid that throughout the time of basic terms women human beings could have toddlers and therefor Obama's plans in basic terms positioned hassle on gays that don't prefer to serve or stay in. Drafting women human beings might bring about numerous undesirable pregnancies. you will possibly think of that is ridiculous yet many women folk human beings might decide to get pregnant extremely than in all possibility die in conflict or get despatched distant for a protracted time. it style of feels unusual that he may well be so in touch. as we talk, the militia looks sufficiently staffed. they look greater excited by doing away with infantrymen interior the unit the place I drill than getting them. Enlistment bonuses have long previous down and promotions are greater durable to get than they was. Why difficulty on the subject of the draft now? that is my understanding that Democrats are generally if not consistently those that draft. It on no account seems to be mandatory while Republicans are in ability. opposite to what others that throughout the time of all possibility at the instant are not truthfully interior the service (and therefor will possibly not understand numerous what they talk approximately) say, i don't see any scarcity of human beings for militia assignments and, in certainty, there are distinctive unemployed reservists that could decide to do one for employment.

IF the draft is reinstated (& rangel wants to do that in the worst way) it is possible that women will be included. It's kinda tough to figure out what's in a bill that hasn't seen the light of day.

You don't need to worry either. Unless enemies start floating troops over on boats we won't have a draft. America is too self centered to ever go back to a draft.

The only people I have heard say they would bring back the draft are Democrats. I don't think Bush would go along with that one.

Thank you for this question. I myself was unaware of whether women would be drafted, but as a 39 year old, knew it would not apply to me.

Probably more fear-mongering to stir up anti-Bush sentiment, would be my guess.

DRAFT IS GOOD INVESTMENT..

BRING IT BACK ANYWAY.......

WE STILL IN THE WAR BUSINESS..

AS LONG AS THE USA HAS A STANDING MILITARY-THE DRAFT SHOULD BE IN EFFECT............

MEN-- AS BEFORE............
