On December 18, 2025, #Felon47 signed the National Defense Authorization Act for 2026, mandating automatic Selective Service System registration. The agency’s proposal to automatically enroll men was then submitted to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on March 30.

The government official said they did not believe that the new Selective Service registration process was geared toward “generating cannon fodder”.

On the other hand, the draft in the US has never been fair to people of colour or people without means or connections.
