Having to register is not having to serve, which is my point. Everyone should do something, everyone should get the opportunity to serve their country. Everyone should know what it's like to be a team and dependent on the guy next to you. I agree that it's a strong bastion for sexism but requiring everyone to do some time would help break that down, I believe. There might need to be a few more exemptions and qualifiers added, but I think generally it would be beneficial.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
