US military draft registration

Under the new mandate, the Selective Service System will use federal and state data to ensure all eligible men aged 18 to 25 are enrolled without requiring individual action.

Anti-war activists and civil liberties organizations have rallied against the move, describing it as a 'dangerous data grab' that could pave the way for a future conscription.

The administration maintains that the change is necessary to modernize the system and ensure national readiness in an increasingly volatile global security environment.

While there are currently no plans to reinstate the draft, the automatic registration has become a major point of contention in the ongoing debate over the nation's military posture.
