@@3asyrider75that’s right it’s register or go to prison. There are not too many ways out. People can leave the US, give up citizenship. I remember Vietnam. My dad was drafted at 17. My father in Law too. My father in law went and came back home with a massive heart attack and exposure to agent orange. And my dad went to do his physical. There it was found out that his dad had just died leaving him head of household plus I had just been born the same month my grandfather died. Which made my dad head of 2 household. And they did not send him. It caught him off guard because he thought he was going to war and there was no way out. My grandmother had been praying for a way out, but having her husband die and her 17 year old son have a child was not her choice either. Be carful what you pray for.

It's unlikely to be picked up by the Democrat-controlled Senate because of numerous amendments regarding abortion, diversity efforts, and transgender medical treatments.

Too many if not all of these sham bills contain parts that have nothing to do with the actual purpose of the bill. If there is anything tacked on it should be a bill on its own.

That is not how bills get passed. The Legislative process involves a lot of compromises to move ahead.

If required to register with Selective Service, failure to register is a felony punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or 5 years imprisonment. Also, a person who knowingly counsels, aids, or abets another to fail to comply with the registration requirement is subject to the same penalties.

It's so funny that people don't know they already been automatically signing people up for a draft since ww2.

[@doc.sk8erdie286]

So does that mean all Americans were forced to join the military, or was it just mandatory to sign up?

[@igotnothingbettertodoso3048]

@@doc.sk8erdie286 No It wasn't mandatory sign but if you a male and have a permit, ID, Driver's license you probably already been signed up for selective service.

[@doc.sk8erdie286]

@@igotnothingbettertodoso3048 I signed up when I got my first ID because my Dad told me I had too, but I was never drafted. If this bill gets passed by the Senate, does that mean even if you sign up you're automatically going to get drafted?

[@igotnothingbettertodoso3048]

Not automatically it like a lotto it's random and very low chance there is going be an draft anyways so I wouldn't worry about it.
