Norway has added women into the draft. If they can do it, shouldn't the US do the same? SGM Matthew Quick CPT Aaron Kletzing 1LT Sandy Annala SGT (Join to see) PFC Kyle Corcoran 1SG (Join to see) 1LT (Join to see) CPT Chris Loomis

A fair question. A simple answer: No. If Norway jumped off a bridge, should we follow? Sorry, I couldn't help that. My mother's words echo in my mind whenever I see a proposition such as this...

Small problem, we have no draft. However, if we did, given all the uproar for gender equality, it would be reasonable for all to be included. With extremely limited exclusions.

But we still have to register for selective service which is for the draft if it comes around.

Understand, my 2 cents worth was strictly with regard to the draft portion of the equation.

I believe that women should fall in line with men when it comes to registering for selective service, and IF there is ever another draft, then yes, women should be drafted like men, although not because Norway does it, but because with all branches of the military, and all career fields open to women, they can feed the beast just like the men can.
