In reply to the discussion: Senate Democrats propose requiring women to register for military draft [View all]thenelm1
(854 posts)a thing anymore?? I registered for the draft in 1973. I may be wrong, but draft registration hasn't been a requirement for a long time. And if it ever comes back as a serious political issue, I'd be in line with you protesting the requirement for women (or males) to have to register for a draft.
What I was getting at is, with all the immediate concerns the Dems need to address, who the heck is digging this up as an issue? At the moment it's completely absurd. And just gives the other guys, who'll bite at any perceived opportunity, another target to attack Dems.
On the other hand, some type of mandatory national service for all at 18 or whatever is a completely different prospect. Without specific details of an actual proposal, not something I want to comment on.
