Gamble on drafting women backfires, says Donnelly
A conservative military watchdog believes a Republican congressman made a big mistake in introducing a bill making women eligible for selective service.
Just a few months after the Defense Department lifted all gender-based restrictions on front-line combat units, the House Armed Services Committee approved a measure last week requiring women (ages 18-26) to register for the military draft.

The "Draft America's Daughters Act" passed 32-30 despite the fact that the sponsor of the bill – Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-California) – voted against it, just as he said he might when he introduced it in early February. Hunter explained that he offered the measure (H.R. 4478) to trigger a discussion about how the Pentagon's decision in December to rescind gender restrictions on military service failed to consider whether the exclusion on drafting women also should be lifted.
