Question

If there was a military draft now-a-days would women be drafted?

Answer 1

In the US women are not even allowed to be in combat. So probably not.

Answer 2

Women will not be in a draft for at least 100 years. It would create too many problems if there were a large number of women in combat roles. Where would they sleep? Would we create women only combat divisions? (what commander would knowingly send WOMEN to die? I don't know any male who would). Would we need to create new combat uniforms for women.

There are just too many problems for it to work. Also, any President who enacted this would be committing political suicide. Only if there is a woman president and a major war, or if we are losing that war so badly that we are running out of soldiers to fight it (and we would most likely need a women president anyway) would a draft that included women be instated in the next 100 years.

Answer 3

No, Women would not be drafted. Men ages 18-40 can be drafted. The only exception is that 1-they are not an able body. or 2- they are the only SON. They can have 10 sisters, and still be drafted, siblings have nothing to do with the matter. They HAVE to be their mother/fathers only SON. (as to carry on the family name)

Answer 4

Unless legislation passes that changes the law. Only men 18-40 can be drafted if they have at least one sibling and have not already served in the Armed Forces before.

Answer 5

No, only boys have to register for drafting. And they keep women away from combat too.

Answer 6

Nope, congress would have to amend the law because it specifically refers to "male persons".  Just like the constitution says, "All men are created equally" it does not say, "All men, women, and children".  But, shhhh!  Don't tell anyone.
