Bipartisan Public Service Commission Still Mulling Drafting Women
1/23/2019
​A congressionally created bipartisan commission considering whether women should be required to sign up for selective service released its interim report this week, noting the panel is still mulling the idea of allowing women into the draft.
“Many do not realize the US has a requirement for men to serve the nation if drafted,†according to a Jan. 23 summary of the National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service’s interim report. “Further, some Americans are surprised that women are currently neither required nor permitted to register for selective service. Others question the need for the Selective Service System. We are carefully considering the issue and actively seeking input on this.â€
