U.S. to Begin Automatic Draft Registration in December

[Uncle Joe]

The federal government is preparing to begin automatically registering eligible U.S. men ages 18 to 26 for the military draft pool. The U.S. hasn't had a military draft since 1973, but it still maintains a registry of eligible men in case the draft is restored. New rules around automatic military draft registration were tucked into the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act.

We are joined by Edward Hasbrouck, an organizer with the Anti-Draft Coalition, which opposes the plan for automatic draft registration and is calling for repeal of the Military Selective Service Act. "The important thing is to take the draft off the table, remove it from the arsenal of war planning. Forcing the government to confront the question, before they make wars, of whether enough people will fight them actually constrains wars before they happen," says Hasbrouck.

1. But they can't do automatic voter registration because it's toooo hard, hurts their fascist brains. nt

2. Should this draft be for men only?

Shouldn't the draft include women and why not extend it to age 30, instead of just going to age 26?

3. I really

Believe we will be at WW3 by then, especially if dems kick ass in November. So they may need to call up suckers and losers earlier to fill the seats as our bodies start coming home.
If all their voting elimination does not workout, trump and his cohorts will need war to not see prison. The exact playbook Natty Yahoo is carrying on, and dragging us along. Just my opinion, but the evidence is in our face. After Hungary’s smashing it’s self made King, with our RW cash and influence, trump and his media will pull out all stops the save their asses. Expect the most extreme efforts funded by endless cash, promoted by the most lying propaganda media trying to save their asses (and cash flow) as well.
I also think this threat of draft will have young people storm the enlistment offices for ICE. All the war toys our tax dollars can buy, better funded than military personnel, with a guarantee of service that will never allow them to be shot at, no rules or consequences for out right murder of citizens you do not like, or anyone that speaks ill of the King. And raping young arrested girls is cheered on.
No hiding in jungles, or desert dunes with toxic air and water filled with cancerous chemicals.
They stay in Hilton’s with meal allowances that we could never afford. No MRE,s for those WAR Fughters.
No trump or Graham spawn seeing a second of service as they cheer war on. They will be raking in billions in cash completely illegally.
