Yeah, ridiculous, after 40 years of it being nothing more than a little formality, you can call SS registration meaningless, there is no draft.
If we ever get a draft again, it will be used by the left to destroy the military, they will probably insist that it include females and homosexuals, and probably categories that we have not thought of.
“after 40 years of it being nothing more than a little formality, you can call SS registration meaningless, there is no draft.”
Except that in 40 years we haven’t had a serious war. Little Iraq and Afghanistan strained our limits of a voluntary force. Imagine a billion-citizen high-tech nation wanting to take us on with a war of attrition.

...who have been agitating to do so, one way or another.
