Automatic US Military Draft Registration

Automatic US Military Draft Registration

The change aims to streamline the Selective Service registration process, which has traditionally required manual enrollment.

While there has not been an active draft since the Vietnam War, the move has sparked renewed debate over military service and civil liberties.

Anti-war activists have criticized the measure as a "dangerous data grab" and are calling for the total repeal of the draft.

The administration maintains that automatic registration is a common-sense update that ensures the nation's readiness in an increasingly volatile global environment.
