Here’s how the draft actually works, and the role FAFSA plays in signing up for selective service.
◾Any person assigned the sex of male at birth who is between the ages of 18 to 25 is required to register for the draft. Eligible citizens are required to register within 30 days of turning 18, and immigrants must register within 30 days of entering the United States.
◾If someone who is eligible for the draft has not yet registered, they’re generally unable to get federal financial aid for higher education. FAFSA offers applicants a way to register for the draft in the aid application. Those who are ineligible for draft exemption and who failed to register are not granted federal financial aid, according to the Federal Student Aid Handbook.
◾Draft exemptions include males currently in the armed services and on active duty, not including members of the Reserve and National Guard who are not on active duty, males under the age of 18 at the time they complete their FAFSA, non-citizens of the U.S. who came to the country after turning 26 years old, and transgender males.
◾Eligible males who forgo federal student loans or do not go to college are not omitted from the draft. Those who choose not to register are susceptible to a felony charge and a fine of up to $250,000, a prison sentence of up to five years, or a combination of the two.

Why aren't females required to register? Isn't that sexist?

Well, I have seen a woman throw a football. I don't know about tight pickle jar lids, though.

I cannot believe how unreliable and erratic my government officials are. This is sickening. You can’t trust anything America is gonna do next. God I pray we can get our country back into some kind of a credible stance.
“Yeah we’re gonna withdraw from Iraq.” “Uhhh we were wrong, we’re not leaving, that was an oopsie!”
How fucking dumb is that?
No one from the top on down know WTF is going on.
I’m sickened my my countries leaders.

This will turn into another endless unwinnable war paid for by the US taxpayers and the blood of our soldiers.
