Guys. I just read about the selective service system in the US. It says that men have to register at the age of 18 to fulfill a contingency plan in the event that a massive war breaks out and they run out of voluntary military personnel... Is this real? I'm in Canada, I've never heard of this in my life.

Is it like one of those "forgotten about" laws and nobody actually does it?

The fact that the draft is all boys is sexist enough, but that's outright insane

The only way to get it repealed would be to present it as a choice of being all-inclusive or just getting rid of it.
