While this is just a proposal from the office of selective services, it is interesting to see the direction they were considering. The draft would include women and the age is pushed up to 34 for a cut off.

My questions are as follows-

How do the women at TFP feel about this?

How would we all react to a mandatory military stint?

If sent to Iraq, who would conscientiously object?

As I am over the cut-off age, I would not be required to go, but my wife could be drafted. I would NEVER let her go into the military, even if it meant a move out of the U.S.
