I got this card thingy in the mail today from the "Selective Service System." The stupid thing says I have to register, it says it like a million times, but doesn't say what for exactly. It says men 18-25 years old have to register because its the law. "Failure to register is a felony and may result in up to $250,000 in fines, up to 5 years imprisonment, or both."
It says I have to go to http://www.sss.gov to register. According to the website,
On October 5, 2004, the House of Representatives voted 402 - 2 to defeat H.R. 163, the bill cited as proof that the Selective Service was preparing to reinstate a military draft. The vote made official what has been a reality since January 7, 2003, when H.R. 163 was introduced despite nearly total opposition in Congress to restoring the draft. Without Congressional support, the draft cannot be reinstated. A similar bill languishes in the Senate.
What should I do? :fear:

From what I read you are still required to register. So do it.:) Unless you have a spare $250000.:lol:

Do whatever you want. But be forewarned. You can never get a Government job (post office etc.), government loan or grant (pell grants, fha home loans) without registering.

Compared to a $250,000 fine/5 years in prison, not getting a government job/loan is the least of my problems. :P
Looks like I'm going to have to register, wether I like it or not. :(

Well, if they can feck you up if you dont register,
I guess its a must.
Also, might be good to start learning the languade they speak in ME,
(Arabic?) why? I dunno, just a hunch...

They aren't trying to draft you. :dry:
Every male in the US must register for the draft upon turning 18. It's the law. It's no big deal, everyone does it.

Tell them you got issues with the cookies...
...duh, that was a bad one.
I was watching Sixty Minutes early one morning, and they said something about (american) recruitment officers calling up people and telling them they'd been drafted, to keep the quotas up.
Apparently, they aren't allowed to do that do that.
As far as I understood that, they can't make you join the army, you had to volunteer.
The registering stuff you got is most likely legit, though.
I had to fill in something similar when I was younger, and here we do get drafted after and are required to do some time in the service, unless we can get out of it somehow (which I did).

Sorry. There is a problem with the Social Security Number that you submitted. If you mis-keyed it, please correct it and re-submit your registration. If your number is correct, then it is not yet in our data base. Therefore, click here, print out a SSS Registration Form, fill it out and mail it to: Selective Service System, P.O. Box 94732, Palatine, IL 60094-4732.

The US Draft was never stopped, merely suspended.
That Bill in Congress means shit... it was to change the Draft Rules, not re-start something that never finished.
All it needs is an executive order to restart the Draft in the form it was prior to suspension.

I want to clarify my response above...
It would take a National Defense Emergency for Congress to restore inductive powers to the President...
This happened after 911, and has never been revoked.
There hasn't been a prosecution for non registration since 1985 though:
Hundreds of thousands of men have refused to register, despite the threat of possible prosecution. Twenty, a very small percentage, have been prosecuted. (There have been no more prosecutions since 1985.) Many churches have supported nonregistration as a valid conscientious response to the registration requirement. Non-registrants should be prepared to be
prosecuted, and if indicted should quickly find an attorney who is familiar with draft law. Even without prosecution, nonregistrants will automatically forego certain government student aid, training and employment possibilities. Several states bar non-registrants from attending state colleges and universities.

Maybe registering and asking for deferment AND registering as a Conscientious Objector is your best option :P
The Draft is in effect now, through the back door...
What else do you call current troops whose enlistment is up, not being allowed to leave?
If they aint volunteers, they are draftee's... its that simple. :ph34r:

the only, and absolutely only, complaint i have about canada is the RCAF. crappiest air force in the world, but mostly i hate them for not letting me join
me: "so, i'm interested in joining the Air Force"
recruiter: "ah very well, are you interested in a particular career with the Canadian Air Force?"
me: "yes actually, i want to be a pilot"
recruiter: "ok, now do you have 20/20?"
me: "no, but i can get laser surgery no problem"
recruiter: "wtf, you fucking hax0rz, you stupid n00b"
i think Canada is the only country in the world that has a vision restriction, every other country allows vision corrections, usually laser eye surgery.
