Women haven't been required to sign up for selective service until now, that is if this new amendment gets passed into law. Much like men who had to sign up around their 18th birthday, women may now have to also sign up for selective service once they hit the age of 18. They will have until the age of 25 to sign up.
Do you think this is a good idea? Honestly I'm for it. This is a first step in equal rights for women especially, as they weren't required to even sign up. As well, to my knowledge, weren't seeing actual war or battle until recently. So it seems men and women are going to be a bit more equal when it comes to the US Army.
With selective service, that just means that when a war does happen, those people could be drafted to fight correct?
Anyway, discuss your opinions on this. Do you agree with it? Or do you think it should just be men who are required to sign up when they turn 18?
