I had to register after leaving the Army. Was on a draft board during the Bush 41 administration.

A Surprising Number Of Men In Washington State Aren’t Registered For The Draft. That’s A Felony

Another little time-bomb left by Obama.

[Celerity]

A draft is a draft.

This is a mandatory program where you must, under penalty of law, volunteer. That’s just strange.

I never understood the value of the SS registration.

[Tennessee Nana]

Yeah theres a lot of illegal aliens living in Washington state...

why would they bother to do something legally required ???

[kaehurowing]

Someone should sue to force women to register. That might change their tune about equal rights.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Jimmy Carter and congress, actually.

[Tennessee Nana]

Immigrants who don’t register can also lose their opportunity to become U.S. citizens later on

[SkyPilot]

Obama didn't register either, and then released a forgery of his Selective Service registration.

[Uncle Sam 911]

What is surprising about girly men in Washington state?

[MichaelCorleone]

What difference, at this point, does it make?

[Snickering Hound]

Or just eliminate the Selective Service System.

No one has been drafted in 45 years, there’s another federal agency that can go away.

[2ndDivisionVet]

And then comes the day we need such a database and framework? What then?

[DIRTYSECRET]

Felons are not allowed to vote. Why are we not trying to find out just who these people are? 1 in 6? Translation? How many does that make? Fake news.

[WASCWatch]

I’m not surprised.

Someone should sue to force women to register. That might change their tune about equal rights.

So conservatives whose daughters will not be registering to do a man's job get snared to make your point? The lefties won't get it. They will simply turn the draft into Americares Squared or something.

[PAR35]

Quick solution. Conscript all of the non-registrants. Pay them a dollar a day, and get rid of the high priced service contractors.

[WMarshal]

They wil bound and incarcerate your Amercan citizens but the “dreamers” get a pass. This country’s leadership needs to hang from the trees.

[Snickering Hound]

And then comes the day we need such a database and framework? What then?

The day might come when the internal combustion engine stops working, lets have a federal program for millions of dollars employing farriers.

Last thing the military wants is a bunch of snowflakes being forced into the military, turn those bureaucrats loose.

“Immigrants who don’t register can also lose their opportunity to become U.S. citizens later on”

BFD. As far as I can tell being a US citizens is a shit sandwich that is noting but obligations without any benefit.

[American in Israel]

Then, as usual, the few of us fight die and kill to protect the unworthy and thankless. Like many others, I did not get drafted, I joined.
