The Draft

The Selective Service Board is reportedly about to tell the president (March 31st is the date mentioned) that they have a plan in place to begin a draft on 75 days notice. After all, you can only go to war with the army you can force to be there and not the ones who (damn it) refuse to be recruited.

The Army, btw, has just raised the age of military eligibility from 27 to 40.

So here's the question. It's only fair that today's draft would require both men and women in the pool. Yet I believe only males have to register for Selective Service. Why?
