There are no circumstances under which we’ll ever actually start a draft, it just has too bad a name with the people, so there’s no reason to have the registration. And really, if something incredibly outside the realm of expectations happened and we really wanted a draft we could reboot one from scratch in months without even needed a registration process. With as heavily tracked as we are with soc-secs and drivers license we could easily feed that data into a draft system. Selective service registration is stupid, it costs money and we’ll never get anything from it.
After the Vietnam War (after which the engineers admitted it was a mistake and the next president pardoned the draft-dodgers), this country lacks the moral authority to draft anyone for a military operation. Anyone who would answer a draft call-up today, to fight in some foreign war a half a world away while our own borders are unprotected, needs a mental health check.
We have plenty of people living lives of leisure on the taxpayers’ dime; draft them.
