I’m from a poor area and me and my buddies all signed up when we hit 18.
Obviously anyone who was really intending to make a forgery wouldn’t leave such an obvious discrepancy as to leave out the “19” or to have the date difference with the signature. Those stamps have rubber inserts and can be purchased by anyone. So these these random faults seem more like evidence of validity.
Space aliens might drop down from the sky and provide a tough enemy here.
Good luck on convincing the American people to fight a Chinese horde again over there.
Truman, Johnson, and Bush were run out of Washington on a rail over getting the country involved in a ground war in Asia.
Eisenhower, Nixon and Obama won by promising to end one.
How much money would we save by not requiring registration ?
Is that image part of a analysis document/page? — because it seems like it could be an interesting read.
If you really feel that being a citizen of this country is such a 'shit sandwich' I suggest you renounce your citizenship and leave. Easy to do, and you will not be missed.

What major ground war you looking for, one with Canada, or Mexico?
About 30 seconds worth of the budget. It’s one of the tiniest programs out there. The draft board members are all volunteers who aren’t paid anything. Think of it as a supplemental insurance policy.

There are unpaid volunteers but most of the staff is compensated.
Point is there is a federal bureaucracy with vast powers that will never be called upon again for conscription.
As a former Selective Service board member I suppose I’m more familiar than most with the agency. Yes, of course the staff are compensated, as are almost all federal civil servants. My point is is that there aren’t very many of them. It’s a tiny little agency in the big scheme of things. There are probably more paid staff at my veteran’s clinic than in the entire SSS.
It's a tiny agency with enormous power. At any time, some director could get ornery and decide to do prosecutions.
Ok, so most kids registered for the draft at 18. How many of them kept up with providing address changes to these bureaucrats up to age 26?
Ooops that's a felony...
No, it's a registration of draft-eligible citizens. Would a return to press gangs be preferable?
At least the press gang got you drunk before forcing you into years of service away from home.
Ooops that's a felony...
It's also a redundancy, given that your SSN is part of the registration info in the database. They know where you most likely can be found.
So you’re telling me that your idiotic posting name has nothing to do with bush and 911? The Bush clan is been nothing but a disappointment to America. They are nothing but traitors.
I doubt I’m the only one to tell you this.
It's a small Cold War relic that will never be used again for it's intended purpose with enormous power to prosecute.
Until Obama, weaponizing the IRS was a conspiracy theory.
President Kamala Harris puts her cronies into the Selective Service System and has them pulling who and who has not been updating their data for possible felony prosecutions?
Get rid of the damn thing.
