Could the #SelectiveService System actually get anyone to the military induction points within 6 months? Probably not. Assume that the draft would only include the people who have been required to register: males between 18 and 26. Then imagine the lawsuits that would immediately get filed:
Equal protection claims based on discrimination of women,
First amendment claims for people opposed to war without a religious or moral basis,
Equal protection claims by transgender folks.

#draft #SelectiveService I'm not seeing much online about the automatic draft enrollment legislation just enacted. Very sobering for a person of my generation. We know there won't be many exemptions granted, and remember how the US lost so many grad students in what we now call STEM fields. -

Trump signed autodraft registration Dec 2026: SSS registers all men 18–26 via federal data. Barron Trump is 20. His dad used bone spurs to skip Vietnam. Rubio's sons Anthony (~25) & Dominic (~21) are in window. He started 2 wars, 13 soldiers dead. GOP House caucus averages 57.5: a substantial share of members' sons fall in draft window. Hegseth's oldest's automatic enlistment in 2028

By December the government will auto-register every man 18-25 for the draft. No sign-up needed. They'll just take your info. Trump won't rule out ground troops. 👀 Watch this.

On December 18, 2025, #Felon47 signed the National Defense Authorization Act for 2026, mandating automatic Selective Service System registration. The agency’s proposal to automatically enroll men was then submitted to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on March 30.
The government official said they did not believe that the new Selective Service registration process was geared toward “generating cannon fodder”.

I have mixed thoughts concerning this.
In the United States, male citizens (and male immigrants) ages 18–25 are required to register with the Selective Service System, which is used in the event of a draft. The United States has not had a draft since 1973, at the end of the Vietnam War era.
Fun fact: I did not know this until well after I was 25 years old. No one ever informed me of this fact, which is ironic, since I actually tried to enlist in the reserves. You would think that would have automatically enrolled me in the Selective Service System, but ironically, it does not (I checked). I even somehow slipped through the cracks and started the initial initiation process. It was on the third day that my medical record was finally flagged (asthma), and I was given a polite but blunt talk about being brave for having even tried, but also to go home.
Having said that, today, knowing what we as a nation have now become and how everything is governed, I would not fight for this country and would have scolded my younger self for even trying. But I do remember thinking years later that the whole process should have been automatic, since I did not even know this was a requirement until I was over the age of 25.
Having said all this, I do believe this whole thing is absurd. We can automatically enroll you to fight for this country, but we refuse to automatically enroll you to vote.

"Automatic registration into the U.S. military #draft pool for eligible men is slated to begin in December, following efforts from lawmakers and the selective service agency to streamline the previous self-registration process."

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?
