As for a draft, I'm not in support of it, and it's sexist. If the government wants a draft, they should draft everyone, regardless of sex.

This version specifies women also and alters the existing codes to include women. I agree that the draft should be sex neutral, but I don't think anyone should be drafted or forced to do any work against their will.
North Korea invading the US is about as likely as Bolivia invading, and no, I wouldn't fight, as I'd be worse than useless. It isn't always about the US--they may be saber rattling at South Korea, which I think makes much more sense.
