The draft ran from 1940 thru 1973 it was for WWII and then mostly Russia since WWII, there wasn’t a specific draft for Korea or Vietnam, it was merely continuous for 33 years.

I received no emails; saw no social media posts, or heard any mention of this Bill prior to its passage. That’s very telling considering I’m bombarded with communications on so many useless issues (especially info on how my state’s representatives are celebrating sexual deficiency month).

"Wait… registering with the selective service was optional?!"

....... NOPE ..... Before this ruling .... All male US citizens and male immigrants, who are 18 through 25, are required to register with Selective Service.

..... As far as I know .... The only change is ..... They extended the age range to 26.

I thought so also.

At least since 1980.

currently, there is no moral, wise, ethical reason to join the military....only reason would be pay and pension....

therefore, I am against this automatic sign up...

these are not our father's times..

I think that was fairly common, guys who were uncertain about serving and also being occupied with just being young often just let the fates decide for them, ‘if they got called they went, if they didn’t get called they didn’t went’.

You only need the draft for an unpopular war. Force people to fight fir something they do not support.

NO DRAFT NO WAY.

I believe the Ukraine doesn’t draft if the person is under 45. Draft age is 45 to 60 I think.

When did Selective Service NOT require registration at 18? That restarted in 1980.

Ukraine lowered its draft-eligible age for men from 27 to 25 on Wednesday, reflecting the strain

They need to draft the 18 year olds before we draft ours

The last draft ran continuously from 1940 thru 1973.
