    The draft wasn’t ditched. The selective service has been active for decades, it isn’t supposed to be left active unless somebody is going to use the draft.

      Incorrect.

      That it is still a law on the books does not make it ‘active’. There is a law here in Kansas City that still bans automobiles on Main St., but I wouldn’t call it ‘active’, and nor should anyone else.

      It was ditched, and with good reason. (At least for the the Epstein Class.)

        You are required to sign up for the selective service as a penis haver at 18 so I genuinely have no fucking clue what you are talking about.

          Clearly.

          I would recommend you go look up the word ‘effective’. That will help with your confusion. Good day to you.
