change military policy so that females must register for Selective Service.

Created by J.T. on October 23, 2013

The Selective Service System website shows awareness of the situation with this notice:

"Even though the Secretary of Defense has decided to allow women in combat jobs, the law has not been changed to include this. Consequently, only men are currently required to register by law with Selective Service during ages 18 thru 25. Women still do not register. (January 24, 2013)"

This petition intends to prompt legislation or executive action to reflect the SoD's decision.
