I was in the post office to mail a letter when I noticed a box on the shelf with cards to fill out. If you are a 18-year-old male, you have to register for the draft, if it is implemented. But women are serving in combat now. So why would not women also have to register? Are we both not equal now to die for our country?

I think if you're looking for an article to write about, this would be it. No one even talks about it. Would women be drafted?

Editor's note: Currently the Selective Service System requires only men to register, although women in the all-volunteer military were recently cleared to serve in combat duty. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1981 that the men-only requirement to register is constitutional.
