Debate over female draft re-emerges as Senate considers defense spending
Fox News
Politicians are rehashing the debate over drafting women in the military as the Senate considers provisions for defense appropriations this month.
"My view is that we have a force now that would not be as effective and efficient without women," Reed told Fox News at the Aspen Security Forum in Washington, D.C., Wednesday. "I don't think that most women feel that they shouldn't register. I think they should."
General Mark Milley, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Fox News he wasn't aware of a coming draft and wanted to maintain an all-volunteer force. He also defended the idea that women should be able to serve where capable.
