Again, there is nothing in SS statutes that can't be changed.
As for my comment, -- either include women in draft registration or get women out of the military altogether -- it's not a slip. Either way, I want to rid the country of a dual standard. Obviously, you and a majority don't.
>either include women in draft registration or get women out of the military altogether<
This country has existed perfectly well up until now without including women in the draft. Actually, that's not true, since in times of war, medical personnel of either gender have been subject to call-up if needed.
Speaking of medical personnel, if you get rid of women altogether from the military, just who is going to nurse the wounded??? There aren't that many male nurses, you know.
Anyway, should Charlie Rangel bring up reinstituting the draft again, Democrats and Republicans will be backing away from such a law like scalded cats. Add women to the mix, and politicians would be trampling each other to get away from such a vote.
