Soon, every man aged 18-26 in America could be forced to serve in the military. On June 14th, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 8070, which amends the National Defense Authorization Act with a mandate that
every male citizen of the United States, and every other male person residing in the United States, between the ages of eighteen and twenty-six, shall be automatically registered under this Act by the Director of the Selective Service System.
The law that Congress is in the process of amending is called “The Military Selective Service Act.” In practice, this amendment will make it mandatory for all young men in America to serve in the military, much like it was mandatory from 1940 to 1973.
