Obama — Register Women For Draft, McCain — No

Item: Despite war, neither candidate wants to revive draft/Block News Alliance

More Info: Even as the U.S. confronts two long wars, neither Sen. John McCain nor Sen. Barack Obama believes the country should take the politically perilous step of reviving the military draft. But the two presidential candidates disagree on a key foundation of any future draft; Mr. Obama supports a requirement for both men and women to register with the Selective Service, while Mr. McCain doesn't think women should have to register.

Question: Should women be required to register for Selective Service?
