This article talks about the military drafting being all male. Equal rights are a big deal nowadays, and with that comes equal responsibility. The article interviews a woman who was surprised when she didn't have to sign up for the draft. Although this draft hasn't been used since '73, it is still an issue that needs to be debated. (This is a really short interview, so there is not much to summarize)
The author does not need to convince the audience, because this is a purely factual document- it states other people's opinion on the issue. I think everyone can agree that women should be drafted, because now that women are admitted into the military, they should also be drafted. As the article states, having only men is simply discriminatory. Although men and women are treated differently in value of life and military, it is time that they are treated the same. This article relates to history because keeping the male-only draft is in the mindset of many years ago.
