BREAKING: House of Representatives Passes Bill for Mandatory Military Registration of Young Men Between 18 and 26

It actually happened twice. And I don’t remember specifically what I was having to apply for either time but it was at a government office...and I had to sign up for it in order to receive whatever it was. I believe the second time it was my drivers license renewal and the lady asked “have you signed up for the draft?” and I told her yes, I had already done that, she laughed and said “I’ve never had anyone say that. Let me get the card for you” and she made me fill it out again. That doesn’t sound right as I’m not sure the state agency would have any involvement in that, but I don’t recall going to any federal office to register for anything else.

In any event, it is and has been a felony not to register... https://www.usa.gov/register-selective-service

This article from Hoft stating: “This new system of automatic draft registration would replace the existing system, in place since 1980, *in which young men have the freedom to decide whether or not to sign up for the draft*” is simply false.

That FReeper was posting a slightly doctored-up version of part of a song done at "Woodstock", which pertained to the male draft during the Vietnam War, as linked here:

     "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag" - Country Joe McDonald    (song link)

[gundog]

Are you unfamiliar with the Country Joe and the Fish performance at Woodstock?

[sten]

upper ranks are decidedly left leaning and hostile to conservatives.

sorry, i wouldn’t volunteer these days.

i would not fight to defend the left’s bs... especially since i’m doing what i can to dismantle it.

[redfreedom]

I think you summed it up quite well. Many people confuse the Cold War wars with what’s going on today. There are significant differences.

[Republican Wildcat]

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

It never was optional - and indeed a felony not to. The TGP Hoft article of this thread is false. You can pretty much count on it if it is TGP and in particular if it is written by one of the Hofts it isn't going to be accurate.

From the bill...

“SEC. 531. SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM: AUTOMATIC REGISTRATION.

(a) Automatic Registration.—The Military Selective Service Act (50
U.S.C. 3801 et seq.) is amended by striking section 3 (50 U.S.C. 3802)
and inserting the following new section 3:
``Sec. 3. (a)(1) Except as otherwise provided in this title, every
male citizen of the United States, and every other male person residing
in the United States, between the ages of eighteen and twenty-six,
shall be automatically registered under this Act by the Director of the
Selective Service System.
``(2) This section shall not apply to any alien lawfully admitted
to the United States as a nonimmigrant under section 101(a)(15) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101) for so long as he
continues to maintain a lawful nonimmigrant status in the United
States.”

Note that a man is not defined. And check out the bit about nonimmigrants...

Beat you by less than a half a minute! 😎

Looks to me like the Stupid Party got themselves sucked into doing this. Nothing like driving away another segment of voters that may have voted for you, but I don't believe for a minute that the GOP wants to win anything.

[LachlanMinnesota]

If they have data on all males, can this data base be utilized to verify voter roles in the event that they want to purge non-existent voters.

It would be a useful list if all males of a certain age are on it, so anyone not on the list should be verified as a citizen.

I find it hard to believe that purging voter roles is so expensive if there is a database of citizens in existence already.

Of course, I may be not understanding the mechanism involved, which would be typical for me.

[Republican Wildcat]

Sucked into doing what? These voters have already done gone through with this mandatory registration and this bill had nothing to do with it. If not, they are Federal felons.

Who must register for Selective Service
Almost all men who are 18-25 years old and live in the United States must register for Selective Service. This includes:

U.S. citizens (U.S. born, dual citizens, and naturalized)
U.S. citizens who live outside of the country
Immigrants (legal permanent residents and undocumented immigrants)
Refugees and asylum seekers
Transgender people who were assigned male gender at birth
People with disabilities
See Selective Service’s full list of who is required and exempt from registering.

Penalties for not registering
There are consequences if you fail to register with Selective Service. It is a federal felony, punishable by fines or a prison sentence. And you may not be eligible for federal jobs, citizenship, or state-funded student financial aid.

Jim Hoft and TGP are just spreading their typical nonsense again. His claim it was optional to register is plainly false.

[Terry L Smith]

Just like my generation ...this is NOT voluntary!!
i dont care if you are a Pentecostal or if you comsult coffee grounds while dancing the bugaloo ...
you will sign up or go to jail, period!

[Major Matt Mason]

This came out of nowhere, and it was passed on News Dump Day. The only surprising thing here is that it wasn't passed in the middle of the night. And Fox is reporting on it, too, although I don't care about Fox at this point.

[Bob Wills is still the king]

That may not work these days.

[Jane Long]

They have data on ALL ... not just males.

Purging voter roles isn’t expensive.

Truth the Vote has been doing this, quite successfully, over the past several years.

[Captain Walker]

The last war this country entered properly was WWII.

With what we've learned about our involvement in wars since then, the proper reaction to receiving a draft notice can only be to burst out laughing.

[Karl Spooner]

Lib men will avoid this by claiming they identify as female.

Don't worry, the government is always one step ahead of the peons. Zenlensky isn't picky and he usually gets what he wants.

"As of May 2024, only men between the ages of 18 and 26 are required to register with the Selective Service, also known as the draft. However, there have been proposals to expand draft eligibility to women, including:

S. 2150
Would eliminate the requirement for men only to register and expand draft eligibility to all individuals in the applicable age cohort

HR 163
Would require a draft by lottery for men and women ages 18–26 for two-year terms"

“”””The last war this country entered properly was WWII.””””

That was the war fought by our army that was 93% draftees.

[ansel12]

That is pretty twisted the way you put together that meme, it would give the impression to the ignorant that he was talking about American sons and daughters fighting in Ukraine.

That is what we call lying.

Why is there an FR keyword fakenews on this article? Are Demonicrats trying to lie to American voters?
