3. Debate: Was it discriminatory not to include girls and women in the draft? I don’t think so. Actually, I question whether the draft at all is a good thing. But I think it certainly should only apply to men. Since the draft functionally separates families, I would have to say it’s better to remove the man, since that is the traditional role of men, to fight war. I can’t see college girls fighting in the trenches. However, I do believe that the volunteer army should allow everyone to join, regardless of sex or race. | 3.
