“Frantic efforts have been made over the past 30 years to accommodate women and gays in the military. If the draft was ever re-instituted, think of the mad rush by many to suddenly be ‘unaccommodated.’”

In 1966 if you recieved an induction notice and told the Selective Service that you were homosexual you were excused from military service with no questions asked.

Yup. And you can bet there'd be a massive effort to have that policy restored if the draft was ever re-instituted.
