| Subject: Listen up, serfs: Commission Issues Verdict: Women, Like Men, Should Have To Sign Up For Draft Wed Mar 25, 2020 8:02 pm | |
| When President Jimmy Carter urged Congress in 1980 to revive a lapsed national requirement to register for possible conscription into the military, he said it should apply to everyone, regardless of gender. Congress disagreed, and for the last four decades only males in the U.S. and men overseas who are U.S. citizens have been required, between ages 18 and 25, to register with the Selective Service System. Now a congressionally mandated commission says the time is right for women as well as men to sign up for a possible revival of the military draft, which has been mothballed since the U.S. military became volunteer-only in 1973.
After dozens of hearings across the country in 42 cities and 22 states over the past two years, the 11-member, bipartisan National Commission on Military, National and Public Service on Wednesday revealed 49 findings in its final report. Finding number 49: “The Commission recommends that Congress amend the Military Selective Service Act (MSSA) to eliminate male-only registration and expand draft eligibility to all individuals of the applicable age cohort.”
