Women and The Draft

Americans have been divided over the U.S. Draft for decades. Even though no American male has been drafted since 1973, the U.S. Selective Service has been under scrutiny in the 21st century for its exclusion of women. In an era where the nature if war is different than ever before and women are serving in more and more roles previously excluded to them, we will discuss if any reforms to the Selective Service System are required and what including women in the draft would mean for not only the Armed Forces, but American society as a whole.
