Since we haven't had a draft in 40 years - doubt we'd start now. But, yes, theoretically, there is no reason why girls shouldn't sign up for selective service. Although perhaps the child-bearing aspect of sending young girls off to fight and then not having anyone home to continue the species - but then I read WAY to many dystopic/sci-fi books.

Don’t quite understand your thinking. It takes two to continue the species - female AND male.

One man can impregnate hundreds. One woman can only have a small number of children.

Women have to have some skin in the game. Why should women be allowed to vote on sending just the men to fight and die?

By this token we should have a draft since about 95% of our current populace votes on this issue because they assume our "voluntary" military will fight the battle for them and thus they have no skin in the game.

Everyone that pays taxes has skin in the game. How do you think those "voluntary" military members get paid, trained, housed, fed, and equipped?[/quote]
 Paying taxes is not the same as going to war and being drafted is not the same as volunteering. It is very easy with no risk to yourself to say yes let's go to war. You are not going to be pressed in to fighting the war. A drafty has no choice. [/quote]
