The Selective Service should be abolished, not made more efficient and equitable.

    Eh, military service now is 8 years right? I’d take jail and file bankruptcy. At least you’ll be alive instead of cannon fodder, and it’s 3 years less.

      We were always forced to register. The fine and imprisonment were penalties for avoiding registration. You’d be registered at the hearing as well as facing consequences.

      At least you’ll be alive instead of cannon fodder

      I don’t think the military is dying at a noticeable rate, especially as “cannon fodder.” A quick Google says deaths by hostile action hasn’t broken the triple digits annually over the last decade. I also didn’t really look at the other deaths, so feel free to dive into that side.

        This is about the draft. We haven’t drafted in forever either, but you can bet if they draft it’s because cannon fodder is needed.

          We haven’t drafted in 50 years. That’s nothing
