Your info is incorrect - my husband was born in June 1960 (turned 18 in 1978) and he was required to register in 1980 when Carter retroactively reinstated the Selective Service. (see below for verification)

“On July 2, 1980, however, President Carter signed Proclamation 4771, Registration Under the Military Selective Service Act in response to the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan,[14] retroactively re-establishing the Selective Service registration requirement for all 18–26 year old male citizens born on or after January 1, 1960.[15] Only men born between March 29, 1957, and December 31, 1959, were completely exempt from Selective Service registration.[16] The first registrations after Proclamation 4771 took place on Monday, July 21, 1980, for those men born in January, February and March 1960 at U.S. Post Offices. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays were reserved for men born in the later quarters of the year, and registration for men born in 1961 began the following week.[17]”

I was only pointing out there was a small period of total exemption. I’m in that. Never registered, never was legally required to.

Obama is older too, he didn’t get the pass.
