With war seemingly on the very near horizon, how many of you signed up with the selective service and would go if drafted? They tricked me into to signing up back when I was in high school and I never thought anything about it until recently. But I would never go to war for this country.


Males aged 18–26 are required to register with the Selective Service System. Knowing and willful refusal to present oneself for and submit to registration as ordered is punishable by a maximum penalty of up to five years in Federal prison and/or a fine of $250,000, although there have been no prosecutions of draft registration resisters since January 1986. Failing to register though, makes the male ineligible for certain benefits, such as Fafsa aid, federal/state jobs, and in certain states, even driver's licenses (since certain states will automatically register a male with the Selective Service System).
