Automatic draft registration begins

The Trump administration is preparing to roll out a system that removes the need for manual draft registration, a measure tucked into last year's annual defense policy bill.

Critics have expressed outrage, arguing that the move facilitates 'endless war' and could disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, including undocumented immigrants.

While there is currently no active conscription, the change marks the most significant shift in draft policy in over 50 years.

Proponents, including some political commentators, argue that automatic registration is a common-sense update that improves national security readiness.
