House passes defense bill automatically registering men 18-26 for draft
FOX ^ | 6/14/24 | Elizabeth Elkind

Posted on 06/14/2024 4:00:30 PM PDT by hardspunned

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.

Trump is gaining among that age group. Why push them away.

You just answered your own question. The Deep State GOP has seen that the phony trial hasn't hurt Trump in the slightest, so this is their latest gambit to lose more elections while trying a bankshot in hopes of taking out Trump as well. Even if Trump wins, he probably won't have a GOP congress because the GOP doesn't want to win. Absolutely pathetic and tone-deaf party.

Because prosecuting those who fail to register is cost prohibitive and counterproductive for the government, many young men fail to register on their eighteenth birthday or do not register at all.


Yep.

As I just noted, failing to register will preclude the person from getting a federal job or work with a contractor. They cannot get student loans, nor security clearance, etc. Skip registering, sure, but recognize the consequences. And please be careful if recommending someone skip registering as the consequences are life long even if they don't get prosecuted.

Back in 1979 I skipped registering and instead joined the military. Back then they didn't automatically register me because I was actually in the Navy. Periodically I've had to dig out my DD214 to address the issue of skipping registration and instead enlisting. At least I have the DD214 but otherwise...

Does the bill define “man”?

No one’s recommending anyone skip registering.

And, I do not know of anyone who skipped registering that wasn’t afforded a student loan, government troll.

Lastly, you’ve been told, repeatedly not to post to me.

You have a sick fixation with me.

Stop. Posting. To. Me.

“Hell, no! We won’t go!” That’s what I’ve been recommending the young men I work alongside to shout, if Biden tries conscripting them. I’ll march in the streets with them, even though I’m far too old to be drafted.

Doctrine? 100% of the total failure of Uke tactics is due to Pentagon meddling. We planned and are still massively screwing the entire affair. “Doctrine”?!? Is it doctrine to attack Russian nuclear early warning radars? Those radars have nothing to do with Ukraine. Those radars, other than the Kremlin, are the most destabilizing targets in Russia. Tactics?!? Those DC morons don’t have a clue.

History?! Who cares about history? They’re very quickly careening into a draft NOW. Worry about that. Do you have any sons or grandsons? If you want to know how easy it is to turn them into globalist cannon fodder, go here:

Exactly!

The lefties wanted women to be placed into combat units, so why are females exempt?

This is a big nothing burger. The meat of the amendment.

“By using available federal databases, the [Selective Service] agency will be able to register all of the individuals required and thus help ensure that any future military draft is fair and equitable,” Houlahan said during debate last month, according to Defense News.”

They are simply not going to rely on people registering themselves and also stop prosecuting those who do not register. Everyone has a SSN and probably a drivers license that’s all they need to register people with why even bother with making people fill out the post card sized form in the first place. Which is exactly what this does. Looking at today’s Gen Z I would guess 75% of them couldn’t pass an Army PFT let alone the Marine PFT. Half would end up in PCP in boot for sure. I was a D-rat at MCRD being so lean and fit when I hit the yellow foot prints my BMI was under weight even though I had been in DEP with a reserve unit for a year and could pass the graduation PFT standard on day one of MCRD.

And automatic registration is an instant way for the Illegal Aliens to get a chance to vote.

This is a ComDem trick.

But yes, white civilians do not want to be in the ComDem Army or other branches of service. That does not mean they are unprepared for a conflict, just not one run by the Communists in charge.
