WASHINGTON (AP) _ Tennnnnn-hut ladies!
The next time Uncle Sam comes calling, he's probably going to want you, too.

Never before have women been drafted into military service. Neither the White House nor Congress are in a hurry to make them register for a future call-up.
A draft would be enormously unpopular and adding women to the mix just isn't a priority for a battle-weary country nearing the end of more than a decade of war. Yet, legally, there may be no other choice.
