>The new rule, proposed by a government agency, would see men being registered automatically rather than being asked to do so themselves within 30 days of their 18th birthday.
Honest question: Why is there no such auto registration for women?
United States is immune from conventional military attack, the only purpose of mass conscription is to create an expeditionary for invading other countries. You have to wonder whether this may be for Canada / Greenland at some point
This isn't as big of a deal as people are hyping it up to be. This (and things like including women) has been talked about for a while now. Men have been required to register for selective service during all recent times. This just saves you the trouble of going to the post office to fill out the form (or maybe it's online finally).
It’s funny how mandatory registration and tracking is fine in the US when it’s in support of war or to track minority groups, but impossible when the aim is serving the public, increasing access or safety.
I never registered for the selective service and never faced any consequences. Maybe this is a more efficient means of closing these gaps while simultaneously saving the government tons of money.
If enough people at position of influence fear that a war is coming, the fear itself will realize the anticipated event. Preemptive strikes will be the trigger.
There is some truth to, what was it, Soros' reflexivity.

Yet, here we are.

As multiple commenters have pointed out, this is actually not new(e.g you get registered when you get your driver's license).
I wonder why flagging brigade on HN has such a thin skin when it comes to anything even remotely critical of the current govt.
