No, the United States isn't trying to build a military force of centenarians.
It just seems that way after the Selective Service System mistakenly sent notices to more than 14,000 Pennsylvania men born between 1893 and 1897, ordering them to register for the nation's military draft and warning that failure to do so is "punishable by a fine and imprisonment."
The agency realized the error when it began receiving calls from bewildered relatives last week.

Must’ve used those “glitchy” IRS computers...
Oooopps. Those were the voting roll computers.
They got their Democrat voters list intertwined somehow I guess...
Yay! A real Y2K glitch!
I’m sure the DOJ will get busy determining how they can go about fining and imprisoning the relatives who can’t prove their forefathers served.
It is sarcasm but that’s what communists/democrats do!
Right; it was an accident. This and the firings of 80,000 soldiers, many still in battle, is meant to project weakness to the world. Duh.
FedGov A-Holes couldn't couldn't draw a straight line with a ruler.
President Polk needs a good cavalry!!
Changing the 8 to a 9 is what they meant obviously...people born between 1993 (now 21) and 1997 (now 17).
Public service announcements run on radio saying young men should reg. for Selective Service: “it’s quick it’s easy and it’s the law”

(Says you must register before you turn 18—failing to do so could affect student loan offers, qualifying for a federal job, and even citizenship for some) or even drivers’ licenses in some states
Well said.
Those dudes would have been too old for the WWII draft.
Not only is this the most anti-American POTUS ever, it is is also the most incompetent. I suppose my grandfather, who died in 1974, might have “received” such a notice. I’m tempted to send a letter to his last address and see if they have it.
I bet the response was overwhelming.
“I’m 120 but I’m ready to fight, you betcha!...It’ll be a bully war!”
Well, with hard drives crashing every 5 minutes, it must be difficult to get a clean run...
Govt. employee must have gotten an important text while putting in the to and from numbers......or, the USPS general told them they needed more mail to deliver that could not be delivered, haaa!
We pay so much for government and it’s a nothing return!!!
If they just had more money and staff, this kind of thing would not have happened! (/s)
It takes a government to screw up this badly.
Hasn't this already occurred? I thought I saw a similar story within the last couple of weeks...
