The federal government is moving forward with a plan to automatically register eligible men for the military draft starting in December, according to a proposed rule submitted last week.
According to New York Post, the change comes from the Selective Service System (SSS), which officially sent the “automatic registration” proposal to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on March 30.
After Dementia Don started the war
Under current law, most men between 18 and 25 years old are already required to register with the Selective Service in case a draft is ever reinstated. But instead of relying on individuals to sign up, the new system would shift that responsibility directly to the government.
... Right now, many states already auto-register men when they apply for a driver’s license or ID. Still, officials say registration rates have been slipping — from 84% in 2023 to 81% in 2024 — prompting the push for a nationwide system.
Good on the 19%.
... Meanwhile, concerns about a potential draft have resurfaced amid global tensions.
... The U.S. hasn’t used a draft since the Vietnam War, and officials say there are no immediate plans to bring it back.
“It’s not part of the current plan right now,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. However, she added that President Donald Trump “wisely keeps his options on the table.”
You and Barron should enlist, Sweet Karoline Levity.
... Once an individual’s lottery number is called, he would report to a Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) for extensive physical, mental, and moral evaluations to determine whether they are fit for service.
He then either heads to boot camp or returns home.
Exemption not guaranteed
... “When it comes to World War III, they’re going to be going after 18- to 25-year-old men. If they get desperate, that is where people need to start worrying,” warns a former Army combat medic in a YouTube clip titled, “Who Would be Drafted.”
“This means if you are overweight and you don’t meet [physical training] standards, they’re going to take you. If you have misdemeanor, sometimes even felonies, they’ll take you. No high school diploma, they’re going to take you.” ...

So, he's going to solve the oil price crisis by making even LESS oil available to the world?
That's giving off big time "you can't fire me because I quit" type vibes.
RT: https://truthsocial.com/users/realDonal ... 240211Iran promised to open the Strait of Hormuz, and they knowingly failed to do so. This caused anxiety, dislocation, and pain to many people and Countries throughout the World. They say they put mines in the water, even though all of their Navy, and most of their “mine droppers,” have been completely blown up. They may have done so, but what ship owner would want to take the chance? There is great dishonor and permanent harm to the reputation of Iran, and what’s left of their “Leaders,” but we are beyond all of that. As they promised, they better begin the process of getting this INTERNATIONAL WATERWAY OPEN AND FAST! Every Law in the book is being violated by them. I have been fully debriefed by Vice President JD Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, on the meeting that took place in Islamabad through the kind and very competent leadership of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan. They are very extraordinary men, and continuously thank me for saving 30 to 50 million lives in what would have been a horrendous War with India. I always appreciate hearing that — The amount of Humanity spoken of is incomprehensible.
The meeting with Iran began early in the morning, and lasted throughout the night — Close to 20 hours. I could go into great detail, and talk about much that has been gotten but, there is only one thing that matters — IRAN IS UNWILLING TO GIVE UP ITS NUCLEAR AMBITIONS! In many ways, the points that were agreed to are better than us continuing our Military Operations to conclusion, but all of those points don’t matter compared to allowing Nuclear Power to be in the hands of such volatile, difficult, unpredictable people. My three Representatives, as all of this time went by, became, not surprisingly, very friendly and respectful of Iran’s Representatives, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, Abbas Araghchi, and Ali Bagheri, but that doesn’t matter because they were very unyielding as to the single most important issue and, as I have always said, right from the beginning, and many years ago, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!
So, there you have it, the meeting went well, most points were agreed to, but the only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not. Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz. At some point, we will reach an "ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT" basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, "There may be a mine out there somewhere," that nobody knows about but them. THIS IS WORLD EXTORTION, and Leaders of Countries, especially the United States of America, will never be extorted. I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas. We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits. Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL! Iran knows, better than anyone, how to END this situation which has already devastated their Country. Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar are useless, Khomeini, and most of their "Leaders," are dead, all because of their Nuclear ambition. The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade. Iran will not be allowed to profit off this Illegal Act of EXTORTION. They want money and, more importantly, they want Nuclear. Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully "LOCKED AND LOADED," and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran! President DONALD J. TRUMP

"Our military is locked and loaded... but not on Monday because that's when the market opens and me and my cronies need to make some money. But Friday evening though!!! You just wait Iran..."
My argument to why this is unlikely to happen: China and our enemies are experiencing the unprecedented opportunity of having to only sit back and observe while the United States destroys itself both globally and internally.
Taking an active part in antogonizing the US wouldn't help in that regard. The US is doing a good enough job on its own.

Agreed, but the possibility should be gamed out (amongst many others) to have a clue as to how to deal with "surprises" as opposed to just dismissed.
It's what the smart people do.

Iran: Blockades the strait of hormuz.
Trump: Blockades the strait of hormuz.
Iran: Death to America!
Trump: ???
Should have listed Putin in that death to America part. That fucker probably can't believe the massive success of his efforts. He could hardly do any better unless he was in control in Washington. The cult still gushes in awe.

Well, there is that. Iran and Russia both getting billions that they didn't get before this started. WINNING!
I'm surprised he's not added this to his list of wars he's stopped. But I guess since he started it, he can't count it as one of those. But he does lie a lot. the cult loves it and gushes in awe at every lie, big or small.

Great minds, hominy. I was just thinking today that this will eventually be the ninth war DonOLD has stopped.
