House of Representatives passed a measure on Friday automatically registering men aged 18 to 26 for selective service.
It was part of the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which sets out the U.S. government’s military and national security priorities over the next fiscal year.
This year's NDAA authorizes $895.2 billion in military spending, a $9 billion increase from fiscal 2024.
While it hasn’t been invoked in over half a century, it’s mandatory for all male U.S. citizens to register for the selective service, also known as the military draft, when they turn 18. Failure to register is classified as a felony and comes with a host of legal challenges.

From Selective Service:
Sequence of Events
Overview of What Would Occur if the United States Returned to a Draft:
1. Draft Authorization: Congress and the President
A national emergency, exceeding the Department of Defense’s capability to recruit and retain its total force strength, requires Congress to amend the Military Selective Service Act to authorize the President to induct personnel into the Armed Forces.
America needs a lot of soldiers to make the world safe for gay marriage
WOMEN TOO!! THEY INSIST ON BEING EQUAL TO MEN!
That’s very true
Including illegals?
So the draft board is now going to be staffed by biologists?
Now that the Left controls the military, you knew this was coming.
No better way to get rid of White Males, than to make them cannon fodder for the next war.
The Ukes are hard pressed to deliver living bodies to the Front.
I’m not in that 18-26 range, but I’d rather make gravel at Leavenworth than fight for Brandon.
Enough of these foreign adventures. NO DRAFT unless there is a war declared by Congress. And by that I don’t mean some wishy-washy congressional authorization to use force. I mean a formal declaration or war.
It’s just that simple.
Ridiculous. Stupid GOP.
Trump is gaining among that age group. Why push them away.
Guess the unity meeting they had with Trump yesterday was as usual for the feckless cowards, a ruse.
Johnson is a ‘Rat/DS cuck.
Just ask PRyno.
“Including illegals?”
Likely.
I don't think appeals to patriotism will fly, except for ONE thing, and that gets into 9/11 conspiracy territory.
“A simple majority vote in our warmongering Congress brings back the draft”
As with laws, the president must also sign.
> Trump is gaining among that age group. Why push them away. <
I hadn’t thought about that. But you are spot on. Sometimes I think the Republican Party should formally change its name to the Stupid Party.
No kidding!
When will the lawsuits begin?
Women are already eligible for the draft...one of Biden’s inflation triggering trillion dollar boondoggle packages did that.
I thought this was the law for a long time now. Every so often there are ads on TV reminding men to register on their 18th birthday.
I saw what I think were high school grads, enjoying their first week of freedom at the lake this week. Two of the three were huge slobs. Basic would kill them.
