If the goverment cant get enough volunteers into the military will they start a draft that will draft girls &?

Question

boys since the both genders have equal status under the law.?

Answer 1

The current system would not draft females. The government would have to change the current statutes to do that. They could require males to serve.

-------
Here is a brief overview of what would occur if the United States returned to a draft:

1. CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT AUTHORIZE A DRAFT
A crisis occurs which requires more troops than the volunteer military can supply. Congress passes and the President signs legislation which starts a draft.

2. THE LOTTERY
A lottery based on birthdays determines the order in which registered men are called up by Selective Service. The first to be called, in a sequence determined by the lottery, will be men whose 20th birthday falls during that year, followed, if needed, by those aged 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25. 18-year-olds and those turning 19 would probably not be drafted.

3. ALL PARTS OF SELECTIVE SERVICE ARE ACTIVATED
The Agency activates and orders its State Directors and Reserve Forces Officers to report for duty. See also Agency Structure.

4. PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND MORAL EVALUATION OF REGISTRANTS
Registrants with low lottery numbers are ordered to report for a physical, mental, and moral evaluation at a Military Entrance Processing Station to determine whether they are fit for military service. Once he is notified of the results of the evaluation, a registrant will be given 10 days to file a claim for exemption, postponement, or deferment. See also Classifications.

5. LOCAL AND APPEAL BOARDS ACTIVATED AND INDUCTION NOTICES SENT
Local and Appeal Boards will process registrant claims. Those who pass the military evaluation will receive induction orders. An inductee will have 10 days to report to a local Military Entrance Processing Station for induction.

6. FIRST DRAFTEES ARE INDUCTED
According to current plans, Selective Service must deliver the first inductees to the military within 193 days from the onset of a crisis.

Answer 2

Actually there has been an upswing in volunteer enlistments. All branches are close enough to there goals that nobody is evern talking about a draft except yahoo answers. The Lib politicians aren't even talking about it any more. There are enough patriotic Americans entering the service to keep the US a 100% volunteer Military.

Answer 3

They should have a draft anyway and draft both sexes. A minimum of 4 years active duty should be required with no exemptions except serious medican conditions.

Honorably discharged veterans should also have first choice of jobs and entrance to colleges.

Answer 4

Technically women human beings can no longer serve in attempt against roles suitable now, in spite of the undeniable fact that that's going on. because of the fact a Draft is ordered to characteristic further struggling with men to the roster, and lady can no longer technically serve in attempt against roles, women human beings can not be drafted.

Answer 5

Only liberals even talk about having a draft. And they dont' know what they are talking about.

*LOL* Now that democrats control congress they could reinstate the draft! That would go over like a lead baloon.

Answer 6

I don't think girls would be drafted unless we ran out of boys. But I think all the immigrants that want to live here should have to sign up for 4 years in the military.That is our opinion around my town. They should want to serve our country.I guess they should be drafted before girls.

Answer 7

There will be a draft only when the Martians have surrounded Washington, D.C. and that is only an "if".

Answer 8

If just 10% of the folks who say they support the war would enlist, our armed forces would be in the 5-7 million range. So ask the pro-war people to please do their duty.

Answer 9

I actually dont remember declareing war on Iraq, maybe I was asleep.
