If you think the prospect of reinstating the peacetime draft raised hackles; I can only imagine how much heat the idea of conscripting young women into the Armed Forces would generate among the public.
Short of the United States actually being faced with a full-scale land invasion from abroad, this idea will never come to fruition.
It's counterintuitive, repellent to our nation's sense of chivalry, and numerous groups-not the least of whom would be the women being asked to enlist-find it to be objectionable on an ethical and practical level.
In other words, it's DOA.
I don't disagree with you.
