Everyone 18 and over. I think it would do young people well to be in the military.

The question was about registering for the draft, not actaully being drafted.

I do agree with you that military service is a good for young people.

only females should have to register. If they want equal rights they have to pick up the slack for all the years they didn;t have to register.

Even if they started the draft, as they had when I was young, you wouldn't get drafted if you were in college. Now if you dropped out of college, you got a letter in the mail very quickly because the college notified the draft board that you were now eligible.

Another broken Government program.

They sent me a letter stating I was in violation of not registering while I was on active duty in the military.

Go figure.
