Since you stated that it's not a constitutional requirement to serve, then Aunty being female is a moot point. No one, male or female, is required to serve. However, it is every American's obligation to give some service to their country.

If they do ever re-instate the draft, it will be non-gender specific. So why aren't women required to register? Because a return to the draft is not a serious option yet.

As far as the socialist comment is concerned, I don't see how that is germane to the discussion, other than another feable attempt at name calling. Don't forget that the DoD itself is a socialist organization that has lasted well over 200 years.

When questioning one's manhood, it seems apparrent to me that those with the loudest voice of committing our troops to battle without first understanding what that entails is trying to live vicariously through those soldiers from the safety of their own living room. They obviously don't have the 'nads to put on the uniform themselves and put the fate of their lives in the hands of their comrades.
