Abenzi bomthetho bahoxise ngokusemthethweni izinhlelo zokwenza abesifazane babhalisele uhlaka, esikhundleni salokho bakhethe ukuthi kubuyekezwe isidingo esiqhubekayo seSelective Service System.
Ukunikezwa okuyimpikiswano bekuyingxenye yokusalungiswa kwangaphambilini komthethosivivinywa wonyaka wokugunyazwa kwezokuvikela, futhi kwaphasisa kancane ivoti le-House Armed Services Committee ngentwasahlobo edlule. Iphaneli yeSigele yenza okufanayo ezinyangeni ezimbalwa kamuva.
Kepha ama-Conservatives kuwo womabili la magumbi akuphikisile lokho futhi akukhiphe ohlwini lokugcina lwezomthetho olwembulwe ngoLwesibili.
Ngaphansi komthetho wamanje, amadoda aneminyaka engu-18 kuya kwengama-26 kudingeka ukuthi abhalisele inkonzo yezempi engaba khona ngohlelo Lwesevisi Olukhethiwe. Abesifazane baye bakhululwa, futhi izinselele zomthetho ezedlule zikhombe ukulwa nemingcele ebekwe enkonzweni yabo yezempi njengesizathu sokukhishwa kwabo.
Ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, uNobhala Wezokuvikela u-Ash Carter wayisusa leyo mikhawulo, evula izikhala zokulwa kwabesifazane okokuqala ngqa. Ukuphendula, iqoqo labaholi bezempi kanye nabalwela amalungelo abesifazane bathi bazokweseka ukuthi abesifazane manje babhalisele uhlaka.
Esikhundleni salokho, uhlaka lokugcina lomthethosivivinywa wokugunyazwa - okulindeleke ukuthi luvotelwe yiCongress ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezizayo - ludinga ukuthi kubuyekezwe lonke Uhlelo Lwesevisi Yokukhetha, ukuze kubonakale ukuthi umqondo wohlaka lwezempi usengokoqobo yini futhi uyabiza.
Lolu hlelo lunesabelomali sonyaka esibalelwa ezigidini ezingama-23 zamaRandi, kodwa izinhlangano eziqaphayo ziye zangabaza ukuthi lolu hlelo lungahlanganisa yini uhlu lwabazobhalwa uma kungase kuvele isimo esiphuthumayo sikazwelonke.
Futhi abaholi bezempi bagcizelele kaningi ukuthi abanaso isifiso sokubuyela kulolu hlaka ukuze bagcwalise izikhundla. Abekho abantu baseMelika abake bacindezelwa ukuthi bangenele inkonzo yezempi ngokuzenzakalelayo kusukela uhlaka lokugcina lwaphela ngo-1973.
Yize amaDemocrat kungenzeka avuselele inkulumo-mpikiswano ngalolu daba ngonyaka ozayo, mancane amathuba okuthi athuthuke kude njengoba amaRepublicans azolawula womabili amagumbi eCongress kanye neWhite House.
