    Government says there’s no more draft… Just a registry for boys who could be drafted…not that it’s gonna happen.

    So rest assured, there’s no more draft, until Congress implements a new draft

      You say that like they’re trying to hide it, but it’s literally the stated purpose of the Selective Service registration. Nothing surreptitious about it.

      Yes. That’s how it’s been since we left Vietnam. Good job. You cracked the case.

      There is a draft. making life unliveable until someone joins the ranks. The whole ‘we’ll pay for your college’ whilst making education unattainable in any other way is a draft.
