"DoD and Congress got them selves into this situation. It is now politically impossible to change. "

Not true. Suppose DOD instituted the mandatory draft again, and it included women. I guarantee you that young women would be very vocal about their reluctance to serve involuntarily, and young men would come to their defense.

This problem will take moral courage from women like Elaine Donnelly, plus a precipitating event. We will win. It just needs time.

I would almost wager that when and if the draft is reinstated women will also be eligible. Both men and women will bring suits if the next draft is not sex neutral.
