Army draft bill passes both houses with age split
Both the National Senate and National House approved the administration draft bill. The House sets the draft age from 21 to 40, while the Senate limits it to 21 to 27. A compromise around 35 is seen as likely. The bill authorizes up to 1.9 million armed forces, plus a 500000 draft force, with pay raised to 30 dollars monthly.
