Eligible US men will be automatically registered for military draft pool beginning in December
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15717471/Eligible-US-men-automatically-registered-military-draft.htmlThe rule change was submitted by The Selective Service System, which maintains a database of Americans who would be eligible for the draft, on March 30.
'This statutory change transfers responsibility for registration from individual men to SSS through integration with federal data sources,' the agency's website said.
It adds that the rule change remains under review by regulatory affairs and is awaiting finalization.
The Daily Mail has reached out to the Pentagon and the White House for comment.
The last time that the US conducted a draft was in the early to mid-1970s for the highly controversial US involvement in the Vietnam War.
Despite no active draft, men between the ages of 18 and 25 had still been required to register with the Selective Service System should one be activated.

Someone commented that the Army upped their enlistment age to 42 so Eric can now enlist.
He has a college degree so make him an officer.
The draft for the Vietnam War was started in '64 and lasted until '75.
I knew I was going to be drafted so, in '64, I went down to the local USMC recruiting office and volunteered, that way I got to choose my MOS and the rest is history.

Semper Fi. 
I would discourage anyone from enlisting in the military while this criminal cabal is in power.
You got it!
(I suppose that will save everyone from being prosecuted for 'failure to register' !!)
President Jimmy Carter reinstated registration for the draft early in 1980,
in response to the Russian invasion of Afghanistan---
but one of his greatest moral failures---- !!!
(and further enflamed my personal romantic and ideological efforts
supporting Ted Kennedy for the 1980 Democratic presidential nomination,
who quickly came out against it!)
LATER in that campaign, GOP candidate Ronald Reagan ALSO
spoke out against re-instating draft registration----
but once elected, his administration actually PROSECUTED some registration resistors,
an apt demonstration of "Republican LIES".....
I was legally required to register for the draft in that first year of the Reagan administration,
as I had just turned 18 years old....
After much reflection, I DID register, but added a sticker to my registration document
which said that I was doing so "under protest"...
Later, I changed addresses several times before I was 26,
but NEVER updated my address with Selective Service,
which was technically a violation of federal law.... but fuck Reagan!
