I just happened to be curious about why I see the little selective service registration slips in the post office if we have an all volunteer service.

The question is whether a draft is possible or enforceable. I'm doing a research paper on the affects of the draft and the purpose of its resumption in 1980 and I still can't find a reason for the Congress to pass the bill that reinstates the draft.

They must really want people to register. I still dont get it . Threatining people with imprisonment and $250,000 fines for not signing up, without letting us know what we are signing up for, sounds pretty f*cked up. So why sign up? and why the harsh penalties?

Congressperson Ron Paul (R-TX) argues that money spent on Selective Service is wasted and would be better spent on VA benefits. As my article explained, a draft is not the issue. We have an all-volunteer army. Many democracies have adopted an all-volunteer army similar to the US model or are considering it. Countries with all-volunteer armies include: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Ice Land, India, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, UK, and the US. Thanks for your comment.
