  8. World War Two was the archetypal good war. And ask any liberal, FDR was the archetypal good president. But don't ask Millard Lampell, Lee Hays, Pete Seeger, and Woody Guthrie -- The Almanac Singers.[1] They released Songs for John Doe[2] in 1941 and it's full of anti-draft, anti-war, anti-FDR songs, inspired by the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, the first peacetime conscription law ever enacted in the US.[3]

    And are you afraid to fight, Billy boy, Billy boy?
    Are you afraid to fight, charming Billy?
    You can comе around to me when England's a democracy...

  15. Don't want to be drafted? In many states (inc. CO, CT, DC, DE, HI, IL, MN, NV, NY, RI, UT, VA) you can opt out of automatically being registered with #SelectiveService
    for #military #draft #conscription by asking for “X” gender marker (instead of "M") on your driver’s license:

  16. "Playbook for a Military Draft": Report from a military strategy think tank shows why draft registration is important even when an actual draft isn't active or likely:

  17. "The way to avoid a draft is not to appoint and train draft boards, compile a list of those to be drafted, and automate the system to enable a push-button draft on demand — just as the way to avoid a nuclear war is not to build and deploy nuclear weapons and put them on hair-trigger alert."
