Automatic military draft registration begins

Automatic military draft registration begins

The Trump administration argues that automatic Selective Service registration is necessary to modernize the system and ensure national readiness.

Critics have slammed the move as a step toward 'endless war,' particularly as tensions remain high with Iran.

The law also includes provisions for the automatic enrollment of illegal immigrants within the specified age range.

While there is currently no active conscription, the move makes it significantly more difficult for Americans to evade a potential future draft.
