Draft debate: Should women be required to register?
Article here. Excerpt:
'Not everyone is enthusiastic about women — or men — having to register for the draft.
Sava Shoemaker, 22, Pottsville, a senior at Kutztown University, recalls registering for the Selective Service in high school.
"I think the draft worked well during World War II, but military service should be an option today," he said.
Victoria Stanfield, Royersford, a sophomore at Kutztown, said it's scary to register for the draft.
"I would not want to be required to do it," she said. "I do know people who would want to sign up voluntarily. I would just not want to be required to do it."
Jenna Sillaman, 21, Lancaster, a Kutztown senior, said women should be allowed to enroll on a voluntary basis.
"I still think that women are looked down upon in the military," she said.'
