5. Lousy title. Lousy reporting.

Here is what the article from Capital Soup says New CapitalSoup.com Poll Finds Widespread Support for Including Women in Any Military Draft Support is strongest among Democrats, women and younger voters

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — On the heels of a Pentagon announcement that women will soon fill frontline combat positions as part of U.S. special forces, a new nationwide CapitalSoup.com poll documents widespread public support for women being included if a U.S. military draft were ever reinstated.

The poll, conducted by CapitalSoup.com and Mason-Dixon Polling & Research to mark the 40th anniversary of the end of the U.S. military draft, found that 59 percent of Americans believe women should be included in a draft, compared to only 38 percent who think they should not. Support for drafting women was strongest among Democrats, women and 18-34 year olds.

One should generally assume shoddy journalism until proven otherwise.
