      Also women, I am glad the removed the selective service requirement for males to apply for FAFSA but equal rights means equal requirements for those rights.

        I’d be !00% on board with including women in the draft. Fair is fair.

        Personally - like I told the recruiter from Annapolis 30 years ago, “trust me when I say that you don’t want me anywhere near your military.” If I were drafted I think I could fail out of basic on my own lack of merit.

        If there were other service options, I could happily do other work. For example: Math, science, or language tutoring for teens. I could have helped out a kid who actually wanted to get into Annapolis but didn’t have strong enough academics.
