Just another form of slavery coming our way. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
The House of Representatives on Friday approved its version of the annual defense policy bill, effectively clearing the $883.7 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to move forward in a 217-199 vote which largely fell along party lines. Only three Republicans opposed it.
A number of ‘controversial’ amendments are part of it, setting up a further fight with Democrats as it moves forward, including a measure empowering the National Guard to crack down on the southern border.
But among the most interesting aspects to the bill for Fiscal Year 2025 is an amendment to the NDAA which automatically registers all draft-age male U.S. residents with the Selective Service System.
This means that all able-bodied males in the country age 18-26 could potentially be drafted in the scenario of a future war declaration by Congress. The selection would be based on information from Federal databases.
While there has been a Selective Service program in effect for decades, it has long previously only been voluntary, but this new amendment will make registration automatic. The merely ‘voluntary’ system had been in effect since 1980 – but critics have said that leaving it up for young men to decide for themselves whether to register has resulted in a weak and ineffective system with not enough numbers.

It was mandatory when I registered and Pappy warned me never sign up voluntarily and he was Army for life from 1960’s to 1980’s after trying domestic life and going back to square one and regaining original rank over time.
He had no interest in promotions and didn’t care for officers, also hated interactions with police and the sir, yes sir, but knew that it was better than worst case scenario.
I’d be finding ways to get exempt in that age group and they’ll come after the wymyns as well in the spirit of egalitarian equity.

What lying sacks in the Potemkin Under Satan’s Authority fraud…they told us it was the law with a stand up display at the school entrance and certain teachers would end class with, guys don’t forget to sign up.
They never said what the consequence would be if you didn’t.
This was over ten years past 1980 and it was still rural back then, now ten mile stripmall Palookaville. (H/T-JHK)
