It was also a Democrat, President Johnson during the Vietnam war who tabled legislation that banned women between the ages of 18 to 26 from being drafted.
All the Democrats did was change their mind, but now you have to ask why?
The reason the draft has ever been imposed in your country in the first place is because of a severe lack of Americans who wanted to join voluntarily and become enlisted soldiers at the time. Times have not changed. American men are no more interested in serving their country than they are about jumping over the moon. This is why women are being included in the draft.
The truth is, it's very easy to avoid the draft in your country. Those who are drafted are typically from very low social status in your country, which means they are not in school nor are they educated beyond high school level.
It is for this reason that draftees of the Vietnam war and WWII were sent directly to the front line of battle because they were considered acceptable collateral damage, whereas a university-educated person would be considered a great loss for America.
It was not the enlisted soldiers who were holding those positions on the front line. The enlisted soldiers were the ones who got promoted and were in a safe place away from the action, barking orders to those on the front line.

@GuiltyBiStander @SandWitchis right..... If you're going to diss someone's comments (and I think @SandWitch has some good points, then put your own logic/facts/opinions out here for us to examine.
