Trump and Co.,with Hegseth probably, are making up excuses to get a rule in place to mandate that the federal government create a list of 18 to 25 year olds that would be available to be drafted should the President declare a ‘National Emergency’.
American men are already ‘required’ to do so but one would guess that few have done so….
America IS being led by a President and Sec of Defense that LIKE to exercise military power….
This seems to be a effort to increase their feeling into the American male population….
This effort actually failed in the past and the actual bring back the draft is up to Congress not the President….
This HAS been done under the radar in last years National Defensive Act….
Me?
I think this IS a nonstarter again….
With a Midterm Election. coming up in 6 months or so?
Hmmmmm?
Eligible men will automatically be registered into the military draft pool by December as part of an effort to streamline the previous process of self-registration and save money.
The Selective Service System (SSS) — the government agency that maintains a database of men to be called up to serve in the case of a national emergency — submitted a proposed rule to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on March 30, according to the office’s website.
Most men between the ages of 18 and 25 are already required to register with the Selective Service, but automatic registration was mandated in December 2025 as part of the fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act.
The change, which was meant to save money, “transfers responsibility for registration from individual men to SSS through integration with federal data sources,” according to the website.
The proposed rule is currently under review by the regulatory affairs office and awaiting finalization.
The U.S. has not had a draft since the Vietnam War, with military service being voluntary since 1973…..
…
Many have questioned whether a U.S. military draft could take place amid the war in Iran, which is currently in a tenuous two-week ceasefire.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in March said that while a draft is “not part of the current plan right now,” President Trump “wisely keeps his options on the table.”
Trump alone cannot bring back the draft through executive action, as Congress would need to pass legislation to amend the Military Selective Service Act to authorize the president to induct personnel into the military…..
This fits in with Trump’s and Musk’s totalitarian dream of assembling a database of every U.S. citizen and resident that combines dozens of different databases.
Sounds efficient, but the idea of 350 million dossiers in the hands of Trump’s DHS, FBI and Justice Department is rather scary. The Chinese have such a database and use it for intrusive and extensive control of its citizens.

If left alone?
