      It’s correct, though. The US does not register women in the Selective Service. They’re certainly able to join the military, but they are not counted in what human assets are available in a potential emergency.

        Correct, but the idea that the draft is a good thing because it counts the “able bodied fighting age men” is weird and sexist.
