I'm not sure what the change is for males in terms of it being required . It's been this way since 1980. It's required. It just looks like now that instead of you filing out the required form the data will be harvested automatically.

You can't dodge the enrollment. Thats all.

Don't think there was a draft then but while the Greatest Generation fought and died to save the world he stayed home and got rich pretending to be one of them.

Within two or three days after I turned 18, I proudly went down to the courthouse and registered for the draft.


I did mine on my 18th birthday, at the post office. Then I was ecstatic when my lottery number came up 365.
My lottery number was 235. If I remember correctly the lottery got up to 187 that year. We were listening on the radio in our dorm room, when they called the #1 lottery number(I believe Sept 9th) someone in the adjoining room screamed.

After Vietnam and the draft, they went further and stopped registration for a several years until Reagan started it back. I fell right in that window and never had to register, but I would have if required to.

Lol, once the draft ended the hippy freaks let NIXON bomb hell out of North VietNam. No sweat off their ass anymore

What is so different? I had to register when I turned 18 in 2006. Are there a bunch of people that don't register?

This is new? I remember registering for selective service when I turned 18.
I remember my Grandpa going with me to the post office to register. Part of him was sad because of what he experienced in Korea and part of him was proud. Different times in 1989.

If the draft is a reaction to Ukraine, it has become glaringly clear you will be fighting for a federal government that had a big hand in causing the war and is run by grifters who profit from the war.
Fight against the dictatorship of the federal bureaucracy!

I went to the Brazos County Courthouse and registered on my 18th birthday, too. My lottery number was approx. 315.
If you think I am a liberal, you are incorrect. Assume sarcasm on my part. Sorry if something I post has already been posted.

You were obviously mocking someone that doesn't want their kids fighting a war for our worthless government that has proven to have no interest in winning wars.

I'm looking for clarification from someone I suspect does not respect the worlds largest nuclear arsenal and doesn't consider it a threat despite it being controlled by a psychopath

It's a current fad

Women scream constantly about wanting "equality."

Well fine, now they're going to get it and have to register for the draft like men have to.
And the ones that will be screaming about this will be feminist. One must understand that a majority of "feminist" us it when it favors them and will go back to "traditionalism" when it does not like men paying for dating them.

Just more hypocrisy from the left.

I stand corrected on the draft. My dad dropped out of grad school at Baylor and joined the USMC. He got a tour of tropical islands like Iwo Jima, Tarawa, etc. He had nothing good to say about John Wayne. Remarkable people consider him some sort of hero.

We have nukes too. Once those things start flying, we are all done for. Your mistake is thinking that Russia is the enemy. Our government has proven that they have zero interest in winning wars. They handcuff our soldiers with ridiculous ROE's while the enemy doesn't have to play by those rules. The last 20 years has proven that our government never wanted to win the war. I don't blame a soul for not wanting to fight for our government.

You make the mistake of thinking Russia is rational, much less not run by an evil authoritarian sitting on the words largest nuclear arsenal. Not a threat, you're naive

You aren't even talking Russia. You're mad at the US gov and saying Russia is OK because of it

John Wayne did not dodge the draft. He was exempt as were all married men. He was 34 at the beginning and, while he could have still volunteered as did his friend Jimmy Stewart, it is completely untrue to say he dodged the draft.

Be interested to know how he was at Iwo and Tarawa. Tarawa was a 2nd Division fight and if memory serves me, Iwo was a 3rd, 4th, and 5th Division fight. Maybe he changed divisions? I haven't run across that yet.

Would you send your son to go fight for a government that had no intention of winning a war? Yes, I see our own government as more of an enemy to us than Russia. Russia is bogged down in Eastern Ukraine. I really don't see them as a major threat.

I didn't register when I turned 18. I kept meaning to, but was busy working in the rice fields and didn't go to town to register. Finally, about a month past my birthday, they called my boss and told him if I didn't come register they were going to send someone to get me. Not sure if they would have or not, but he took me to town.

I remember walking into the draft board office and just before walking in I turned down the upper part of my hip boots. I filled out whatever form or forms and when I got up, I had left quite a puddle of mud and water. I felt kind of bad because the mother of a friend of mine was the draft board person, whatever they were called back then.

My lottery number was 12 but they stopped the draft before they got me.

My daughter you mean and yes. I believe in America even if I'm not a fan of our politicians, both D and R.

It's not about our government, it's about the spread of evil that exists in the world, like Russia. You want to pretend Russia is not a threat becauseyou'ree mad at our government? Evil sociopath controls words largest nuclear arsenal is not a threat? Com'on

As messed up as many of our politicians are, most are not so far gone as to excuse Russia as not an enemy. At least not yet.

Nothing to see here. All males are required to register for Selective Service. Had been that way for at least 26 years since my oldest aged out in March. I have one more that has two years and three months to go.

This just does it automatically.

I am curious what the military is going to do about all the different genders if they call them up. In basic I was a platoon guide and had to deal with the guys that got the letters from home that their GFs were breaking up with them, cheated, etc.

I can't imagine what reception would be like with guys with piercings, gauges, painted fingernails and wanting their Mommies.

My dad didn't think we were trying to win the Vietnam War. His dad died an early death due to lung issues from being gassed in WWI and dad was twice wounded in the Pacific. He felt I was obligated to serve if drafted but was adamant about me not going to Vietnam. As it turned out they stopped the draft so the decision never wound up having to be made.
