The current system would not draft females.  The government would have to change the current statutes to do that.  They could require males to serve.  \n\n-------\nHere is a brief overview of what would occur if the United States returned to a draft: \n\n1. CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT AUTHORIZE A DRAFT \nA crisis occurs which requires more troops than the volunteer military can supply. Congress passes and the President signs legislation which starts a draft. \n\n2. THE LOTTERY \nA lottery based on birthdays determines the order in which registered men are called up by Selective Service. The first to be called, in a sequence determined by the lottery, will be men whose 20th birthday falls during that year, followed, if needed, by those aged 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25. 18-year-olds and those turning 19 would probably not be drafted. \n\n3. ALL PARTS OF SELECTIVE SERVICE ARE ACTIVATED \nThe Agency activates and orders its State Directors and Reserve Forces Officers to report for duty. See also Agency Structure. \n\n4. PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND MORAL EVALUATION OF REGISTRANTS \nRegistrants with low lottery numbers are ordered to report for a physical, mental, and moral evaluation at a Military Entrance Processing Station to determine whether they are fit for military service. Once he is notified of the results of the evaluation, a registrant will be given 10 days to file a claim for exemption, postponement, or deferment. See also Classifications.\n\n5. LOCAL AND APPEAL BOARDS ACTIVATED AND INDUCTION NOTICES SENT\nLocal and Appeal Boards will process registrant claims. Those who pass the military evaluation will receive induction orders. An inductee will have 10 days to report to a local Military Entrance Processing Station for induction. \n\n6. FIRST DRAFTEES ARE INDUCTED \nAccording to current plans, Selective Service must deliver the first inductees to the military within 193 days from the onset of a crisis.

In the U.S. we have an all volunteer military so this would not apply to those who volunteer to serve.  When we had a Draft it was a felony to refuse induction.

No and no. I would surely hope that at this point people are warming up to the idea of having a female leader.  Other countries have and are doing just fine.

Yes, reservations like in jobs and education may also come for legislatures. But the policy makers are unable to clear the women reservations bill since a long time due to lack of consensus between various political parties. If this is the case, there are various castes and religions in India, so we cannot expect reservations for MPs and MLAs in the near future.

FIrst of all it would take an amendment to the Constitution to enact the draft again. It's not likely to happen unless the military is heavily burdened and/or loses a significant number of soldiers. The draft would likely include men and women, although depending on the need I would think it would mostly affect men, ages 18-25. There's no telling if they'll ever enact it again, but they're considering passing a law requiring EVERY person to do some sort of civil service.

The way this draft would be set up would be for men AND women. It's not necessarily all combat jobs, especially if you claim conscientious objector status.\n\nThe likelihood of it happening are slim to none. It would be political suicide. People would riot in the streets. History has shown us that conscription is not the way.\n\nAnd history would repeat itself.

Absolutely, not only it is possible but very likely.Be ready  for the next election process where Sen. Hillary Rodhman Clinton may be facing Condolece Rice. A little more than half the population are women.

Not at this time.  In the past, several methods generally lumped under the name "The Draft" have been used to conscript service during times of war.

No.  the US is currently a voluntary army.\n\nUS males 18 - 25 have to sign up for 'Selective Service', which basically states that if a Draft is re-enacted, they they can be drafted.

no! not if you are male and have to register for the draft, but not females ,even though they have every other PRIVILEGE! that a male has! and if you are rich and a dope head or pervert or other criminal then you have the best defense money can buy and you get to go to a rehab facility and not prison! [ that includes both liberal Hollywood and Conservative politicians! and the rich that support them!]

No, It probably goes more like this: Jenna, Barbara, don't worry about any draft. I can get you two girls into the Texas Air National Guard. It'll be a lot of fun. I can recommend a few good bars to party at that are real closed to the base. But while you're down there, I don't want you two girls to be out drinking and hanging out with Mary Cheney, she might try something with you two. Don't' worry about a thing, I can also show you how you can just walk away and not have to serve your entire hitch with the Guard.

Do all states have an equal number of recruits?\nanswer this and you got yer final answer.\n\nAlso different states have different numbers of bases, and not all military bases do the same thing.  troops are sent to fill a need, and if they are not needed, they are not sent. simple as that.

No, it's not true.\nVoluntary signups for the armed services are way down.  Some officials have even been discussing reinstating the draft.  If there were plenty of recruits for the armed forces, there wouldn't be so many National Guard folks over in Iraq -- their job is supposed to be domestic defense, not war abroad.

No. They will be a force to be reckoned with. Plus, even if they are "dumb", or make bad judgements ... their numbers are many - so there would be an almost endless supply of replacements.

That number would change depending on what time on our history.   During WW11, Korea, and Vietnam we had the draft so the number would be number higher.  The draft is only a good idea in a national emergency.  I'm quite satisfied with the all volunteer military we have today.  So I see no need for a draft right now. \nUSAF Veteran

No, they put you where they want you.  They will also fill the empty slots with draftees, such as no one joins to be a photographer, well, besides Al Gore.  The only way to guarantee where you go is to enlist and sign a contract.  If you get drafted, there really is no telling where you will end up.

No.  Not going to happen.\n\nWest Point has over 20,000 applicants per year.  Only 1000 or so are selected.  Those that are selected are connected by blood or political donations to those who are allowed to go.  \n\nWest Point is where we make our Generals.  I don't think this is right, I don't think this is fair, but this is how its done
