That's not going to happen for many reasons.

I believe any new draft legislation in the US would be required to include both men and women. What percentage of women would have to serve in combat units though is another story (the military has many different jobs for soldiers other than combat).

Well that's a can of worms. Would you kill Nazi soldiers during World War II? I would. But I wouldn't want to fight in Vietnam or Iraq. Would you serve if you didn't have to kill people (as a cook, engineer, driver, etc.)?
