Sorry, But if You Want to Play with the Big Boys...

...you have to play by Big Boy rules. [More]

Of course, if this country ever got Constitutional about its foreign and military policies, and particularly if it once more required declarations of war from politically accountable representatives of the people, the danger of reviving a draft would go down exponentially. Especially if it ever got Constitutional about what is "necessary to the security of a free State."

Until then, and until things change, there's no need to claim CO status or to go to Canada: Simply tell the Selective Service you identify as a woman.

Ewww... the thought of a communal unisex straddle trench latrine just crept in unbidden. Make it go away...

Although, come to think of it, I don't recall seeing the issue ever addressed on Xena: Warrior Princess.

I know I saw more than a few trainees being straddled by drill sergeants not THAT long ago. Beats straddling a latrine, I guess.
