Is Trump planning to re-start the draft?

All it boils down to is young men won't any longer have to schlep to the PO to register.

 

[jacksonlamb]

A new draft better include women.

 

[TimFitz]

No, he has no -lans of any sort.

 

[TimFitz]

There is no pattern.

We are not "at war".

It's amazing that you can even breath when you can't register anything on an EEG.

We are at war. Trump started it.

 

[HikerGuy83]

We are at war. Trump started it.

Yes, Tim, we know you need to say that so you can justify the rest of your stupidity.

Ain't working.

Related! Looks like the Dept of Defense NOW the Dept of WAR is getting ready....to own up to Trump's new name for it....!

Army raises its maximum age for enlistment from 35 to 42, and stopped banning enlistments with 1 drug conviction...beginning this month, in April.

The service's new policy also removed previous enlistment obstacles for potential recruits who have a single marijuana or drug paraphernalia conviction.

We had a Selective Service administration building. But, either way, I assume that 18 y/o dudes have been signing up all along. It just makes it easier. I assume they'll mail them draft cards. I burned mine. It was a popular thing to do way back when.

Canada was the name for the commune situated in a hidden valley in Colorado.

The United States will automatically register eligible men aged 18 to 25 for a military draft pool beginning in December.

This thread is proof of leftist men becoming effeminated. Strangely enough, leftists said there are no biological differences between men and women but support excluding women from registering.

No — that claim is not true. And the page you’re reading is a forum discussion, not an official source, so it’s mixing speculation with misinformation .

Here’s the clear, factual breakdown.

​

There has been no law passed, no executive order, and no announcement from:

• The Selective Service System
• The Department of Defense
• The White House
• Congress

that would automatically register men for a draft pool beginning in December.

Automatic draft registration does not exist in U.S. law.

​

This has been true for decades.

When an eligible male (18–25) applies for things like:

• FAFSA
• Federal jobs
• Some state IDs or driver’s licenses

he may be automatically registered with Selective Service as part of that application process.

But that is not a draft.It is not new.And it is not automatic enrollment of all men.

​

A military draft requires:

1. Congress to pass a law reinstating conscription, and
2. The President to sign it.

Neither of those things has happened.

The draft has been inactive since 1973.

​

Several online posts and forum threads claim:

• “The draft is coming back”
• “Automatic registration starts in December”
• “The government is preparing for war”

These claims are not based on any official policy.They are speculation or misinformation, often tied to political debates about military readiness.

Your open tab shows this kind of speculation happening in real time .

​

• No, the U.S. is not automatically registering all men 18–25 for a draft.
• No, a draft is not being reinstated.
• Yes, Selective Service registration still exists — but that is not a draft.
• Any draft would require an act of Congress, which has not occurred.

This new requirement was signed into law by Trump only a few months ago. As I said in the OP there is a pattern here.

What's the new requirement?

 

[SweetTea]

There is a search engine called Google. You may wish to try it. It is very easy to use.

How is automatic registration the same as a draft? Every male has to register for Selective Service at age 18. I know I did.

 

[OldFlame]

From AI..........

Boys in the United States have been required to register for the draft since the Selective Service System was established in 1917 during World War I. The requirement for registration was reinstated in 1980 and continues today for males aged 18 to 25.


My 2 youngest, now 24 & 26, had to register when they turned 18. This is nothing new

Exactly.

There's always one person on every thread that has to ruin a perfectly good unhinged, deranged, TDS rant with facts.

You are welcome.

This rambling is a clear indication that you are in mid-stage dementia.

Who can draw anything from your blather?

Perhaps JLW should join Biden in his siestas and call a "Lid" in the same rest home for those afflicted with dementia..

 

[Rawley]

I am sure Trumpers will be the first to send their kids to the draft board, lol

Uh, by law you have to register for the draft w/in 30 days of your 18th birthday. Been the law since the 40s.

 

[Rawley]

What's the new requirement?

No new requirement. Registration will be done automatically rather than manually. Saves lots of $$$$$

Yeah, I knew that, but he probably wouldn't have answered anyway.
