Currently, the system requires self-registration for almost all male US citizens and immigrants aged 18 through 25 within 30 days of their 18th birthday, with late registration available until an individual turns 26.

"If you are a military veteran or a military reservist, you are still required to register. However, if you served in the Armed Forces and are 26 or older, but failed to register, your DD Form 214 is evidence that your failure to register was not knowing and willful."

Males that have never self-registered into SSS.gov have been prohibited from state-based aid in 31 states, federal employment, security clearances, and access to Workforce Innovation and Opportunity programs.

The draft ended in the waning days of the costly and wasteful Vietnam War on 27 January 1973.

... all male US citizens and immigrants ...

I have two comments ...

1) why only males? Why not females?

2) immigrants? If immigrants are OK for the military, then why is Pres Trump putting them in concentration camps?

why only males?

Didn't hear Keghead?

Only male "warfighters" are worthy of battle. Women should stay home and pump out babies.

"Congress allowed automatic draft registration in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in December 2025 to streamline the registration process for the military draft and reduce administrative costs."

Israel and Russia have military conscription and they draft thousands of men a year for war, the way the US did for Vietnam.

Thanks, Congress!

GasLighter: I had no idea this exists. My daughter certainly doesn't know about it. I don't think anyone at her school does either.

Cornholio : Israel also conscripts women, idk about the Orcs, that's an 80s foreign policy.

Israel maintains mandatory military conscription for citizens over 18, typically lasting 32 months for men and 24 for women, with reserve duty until age 40.

Only the ultra-Orthodox Jews are spared conscription.

1) why only males? Why not females?

The GOP narrative about women is they're weak and worthless other than as baby makers, clothes washers and folders and dinner cookers.

2) immigrants? If immigrants are OK for the military, then why is Pres Trump putting them in concentration camps?

If you put the prisoners on the frontline, they'll act as cannon fodder.

It's very European, medieval ages and such.

Because males are the expendable sex.

Trump isn't putting immigrants in "concentration camps". I am testimony to this fact.
I love it when Gaslighter pretends not to know things, its impossible to have a real conversation with people like this.
Similar to Snoofy in this regard.

If you put children on the front line, they'll act as cannon fodder.
Its very Islamic, goes back the times of Mohammad and such.
