A lot of military people left the military when Bill Clinton was elected. If Hillary wins, most of the military people will get out. Since most won't join with her a Commander-in-Chief they will have to bring back the draft. Will it include women too since they are already serving in Iraq?

If women want equality yes. We have to be equal in everything not just the things we choose.

Women are technically not allowed into combat arms or ground fighting positions. The military draft is meant mainly to reinforce this type of service member. Current law explicitly excludes women from the draft. While Congress can change that, it is highly unlikely that women will be allowed into combat arms positions any time soon. That being the case, there is no need to draft women into the military.
However, women are not totally off the hook. There is another type of draft called the Health Care Personnel Delivery System. Essentially, health care providers (men and women) can be drafted. This includes, doctors, nurses, technicians and even veterinarians. This health care draft can be called even without calling a military draft if the Government deemed they had a critical shortage of health care providers to support the military.

no women are not the same as men in the military or really anywhere so if they volunteer great but they can't be drafted
and i think that is a good law i am not equal to a man's height or weight or the ability to carry a man off the battle field.
and i have just as important things to do that a man will never be able to do
i don't know why people try and make us the same. we are different and i like that i am not a man with their particular problems
seance woman have tried to be manly look how bad the world has gotten
if men just respected us as a valuable being in the first place non of this nonsense would be happening
sorry it's a sore spot with me

Hillary being elected president will have no effect on the numbers in the military...your statement is ridiculous. Also, women will never be drafted into the military. Women, in general, are not equipped to be soldiers. It takes a very special woman to be able to serve and because of that it would be a waste of time to draft women willy-nilly to only find out that they can't do the job.

I sure hope not.
I had a nightmare that it happened and I was drafted.
The Draft and selective service should never be reinstated.
