Judge Rules All-Male Draft Unconstitutional

There's,a heck of a lot more to the Selective Service laws than just the Draft.

Pilots, doctors, nurses, ships captains, air traffic controllers and many other licensed professions carry a Selective Service designation.

If you have one of those licenses and Uncle Sam needs you . . . POOF! . . . Congrats, you are an Army captain, go to war or go to jail.

M.A.S.H. was based on civilian doctors being put in uniform and shipped to Korea with little or no warning.

I'm pretty sure the need for those support staff, was because you had this rapid expansion of grunts from the draft. Could be wrong about that.

The US military has switched to a smaller, high tech, high mobility, professional force particularly since the end of the Cold War. I can't ever forsee us going back to the good ole days of throwing Johnny into the front lines with a rifle after 6 weeks of basic anytime soon.
