Many of us have begged for a #UniversalServiceRequirement for all #USA citizens.

#SelectiveService need not be #military. #PublicService like #VISTA, #PeaceCorps, and others would qualify, yet every young person upcoming should give 2 years to their country to make it and the world a better place.

As Iran War Escalates, Congress Passes Automatic Involuntary Draft Registration - The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity

A provision in the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) directs the #SelectiveService System to automatically register men of draft‑age by pulling data from other federal databases, instead of relying on individuals to sign up.

March 6, 1967 - Muhammad Ali was ordered by the Selective Service to be inducted into military service. He refused, citing his religious beliefs that precluded him from killing others. "I ain't got no quarrel with those Vietcong."

MLTF and allies object to expanded use of Selective Service registration data The MLTF worked with peace, civil liberties, and privacy organizations to submit joint comments to the Selective Service System (SSS) objecting to an SSS proposal for new and expanded “routine uses” of SSS registration data. The requirement for young men to register with the SSS for a possible military draft will end in December 2026. But Congress has chosen to give the SSS a second chance. Over the course of this year, the SSS will be putting in place the regulatory and administrative framework for a new and certain to fail attempt to register potential draftees automatically [sic] on the basis of other existing Federal databases, starting when the “self-registration” requirement ends in December 2026. Attempted automatic registration is the largest change to the Military Selective Service Act (MSSA) and U.S. planning and preparation for a draft since 1980. To implement this change in the law, the SSS will need to promulgate new regulations and a series of notices and requests for approval pursuant to Federal laws governing data collection (Paperwork Reduction Act), data sharing (Computer Matching Act) and data use (Privacy Act). That process is just beginning, but will need to be complete by December 2026. The MLTF is monitoring and plans to participate in these administrative proceedings. See the upcoming edition of _On Watch_ for what’s happening with the transition to “automatic” draft registration and the opportunities for MLTF members and other lawyers and legal workers to help. The SSS has a track record of disregard for data protection laws, and is under pressure to expand the misuse of registration data. DOGE has already been given access to the SSS registration database for undisclosed purposes and with no apparent legal basis. The Heritage Foundation wants to weaponize SSS registration data against immigrants by using threats of prosecution for “knowing and willful” non-registration to pressure immigrants to “self-deport”, even though those threats are empty in the absence of evidence of notice and actual knowledge of the registration requirement. The first official SSS rule-making action after the change to “automatic” registration was enacted was a proposal to expand the disclosure of SSS registration records to other Federal, state, and local agencies and private entities for a range of purposes including immigration enforcement. This isn’t overtly related to preparations for “automatic” registration, but is a precursor to the SSS notices and changes in rules that it will require. The comments submitted January 16th in opposition to this SSS proposal for expanded data sharing were co-signed by the MLTF, Jewish C.O. Project, Restore the Fourth (RT4), Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), Committee Opposed to Militarism and the Draft (COMD), Project on Youth and Non-Military Opportunities (Project YANO), Episcopal Peace Fellowship (EPF), and Center on Conscience & War (CCW). This is a promising start toward a joint campaign against “automatic” draft registration — with all the dangers it poses as a data grab and an enabler of war planning — and for repeal of the MSSA and Selective Service. We invite peace, civil liberties, and privacy advocates to join us in this work.

U.S. defense bill calls for automatic draft registration The Selective Service System has been instructed to make military draft registration automatic. President Trump signed the annual National Defense Authorization Act Dec. 18, a day after the Senate gave its approval to the record $901 billion spending bill. This includes a mandate that the Selective Service System make registration automatic for males ages 18-25. The deadline for implementation is Dec. 18, 2026. Reviving a military draft would require congressional approval. The most recent draft ended in 1973. Draft registration resumed in 1980. The Center on Conscience and War reports Selective Service will implement this legislation by crossmatching data with other federal agencies to register people it believes are required to do so and share that information with military recruiters. The CCW notes that some conscientious objectors consider registration with Selective Service to be a form of participation in war. While automatic registration would eliminate the requirement for these COs to take an action contrary to conscience, it also would place their information within the Selective Service System without their consent. Many men today are registered with Selective Service when they apply for a driver’s license or other state-issued identification. Selective Service’s most recent annual report to Congress indicated the registration rate for men 18-25 in 2024 was 81%, with a specific rate for 18-year-olds of 42%.

I have a take.
It's been on my mind for a long time, I'm prone to rambling (🧵), and I welcome discussion. I'm very open to the probability that I'm misguided or flat-out wrong.
It's about #SelectiveService, more commonly known as the #draft.
Opinions US-centric, ideas from other countries welcome!

This was a huge point of discussion in #GenX circles when they reinstated mandatory registration for #SelectiveService in 1980 for anyone born after 1960. It was a signed proclamation by Jimmy Carter. Having Reagan as president draft was a real threat.
