“Making selective service registration automatic for eligible men, cutting through red tape and saving taxpayer dollars,” the amendment states.

Members of the United States House of Representatives have subtly accepted an amendment that would automate Selective Service for all eligible men in the event a military draft is declared.

Young American men are legally obligated to register for the Selective Service System (SSS), lest they face hefty fines and possible jail times, though those penalties have never really been enforced, and a draft a has not been enacted in over 52 years since the Vietnam War.

This negligence to enroll has increased in recent years, according to the Military Times, ‘in large part because registration options were removed from the federal student loan process two years ago. That had accounted for nearly a quarter of all registrations in prior years.’

However, this amendment would bypass the paperwork and failure to register, and would automatically register young adult men once they turn 18. This amendment would affect everyone aged 18-26.

Representatives Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) and Don Bacon (R-NE) sponsored the amendment, calling it both a money-saving and common-sense reform.

Bacon and Houlahan

In a press release on her website, Houlahan, a member of the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) and the Ranking Member of HASC’s military Quality of Life Panel, “celebrated the inclusion of her Quality of Life report recommendations and additional amendments in the annual defense bill markup.”

This year’s annual defense bill – traditionally called the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), renamed the Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act this year – contained roughly 600 amendments that were introduced and 14 of Houlahan’s were accepted, many of which were presented in their 48-page Quality of Life report that presented 31 recommendations.

Of the 14 amendments that were adopted in a bipartisan vote in 57-1, one of those included the automation of the SSS.

The amendment reads

During the debate hearings she said:

By using available federal databases, the [SSS] agency will be able to register all of the individuals required and thus help ensure that any future military draft is fair and equitable.

This will also allow us to rededicate resources — basically that means money — towards reading readiness and towards mobilization … rather than towards education and advertising campaigns driven to register people.

“As a third-generation veteran and proud Pennsylvanian, I championed these priorities for every military family I’ve spoken with across the Commonwealth, country, and globe,” said Houlahan. “Our men and women in uniform sacrifice so much for our nation – and they do so proudly, patriotically, and often without concern for their own wellbeing. That doesn’t mean, however, that they are invincible. Our military is strong because of our people, and we need to take care of them and their loved ones. This legislation further demonstrates our appreciation for their service and will strengthen our national security.”

The Military Times went on to note: ‘The Selective Service System costs roughly $30 million a year. Lawmakers have proposed a number of reforms to the database in recent years, including adding women and completely eliminating the agency altogether, but none have made it through Congress.’

‘The latest proposal was approved unanimously by the committee but still must advance through the full House and Senate before it can become law. The authorization bill, which contains a myriad of military budget and policy priorities, is expected to be finalized by the two chambers sometime this fall,’ the outlet added.


AUTHOR COMMENTARY

The WinePress has reported that an increasing number of NATO nations are enacting measures to enforce a compulsory draft, with some, such as Denmark and Sweden even forcing the conscription of women. With this continued push to fight Russia, NATO leaders and other member states have continued to strongly insinuate that a draft will be necessary.

In 2022, the Biden administration put out a formal policy that stated that men who identify as women must still enlist, but women who identify as men do not need to register. Besides the hypocrisy of buttering up to the progressives and LGBTQIA+ club, it reveals that the military industrial complex is looking to ensure that when a draft is enacted there are abled bodies available at their disposal.

Psalm 120:6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. [7] I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

The government can go pound sand and kiss my rear end. In no way will I be fighting for the military industrial complex, shedding blood for a country that hates me, and dying for an oil company. If they want me they can come drag me out, but even then that’s not going to deter my defiance of this evil government. People need to stand up to this and refuse to fight anymore of these unjust wars.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • Yeah sure, I’ll go into the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, or U.S. Air Force…when donkeys fly and when alligators dance! When pigs fly!

    I totally stand with you on that Jacob, a country that hates us, just wants to use us, shedding blood for a bunch of oil tycoons – and don’t forget it’s innocent blood because these wars are illegal and unjust against the innocent, and building the military industrial complex – in your dreams America!

    Kiss my rump, Uncle Sam!

    14) How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?
    Jeremiah 48:14

  • When I was 18yrs old, 1979, we had to register for the draft, my buddy and I went to a post office to do it. Praise the Lord it never happened. But that was back then, nowadays no way Jack.
    Like Jacob and Andrew have stated: die and bleed for this country that hates us, NOPE

    • And don’t forget David Aarons, dying and bleeding for a bunch of greedy, evil oil corporates who, while we fight and do the dirty work, they’re at the golf course wearing their dorky plaid knickers and those hats (they looks like clowns) and they’re sipping super expensive champagne from 1902 and having beluga caviar, then they’ll get in their corporate jets for dinner to have a meal that costs more than most people’s cars and then sit in the gentlemen’s living room to sip 200 year old brandy and smoke cigars.
      Those oil tycoons have sold their souls to the devil, and they will die and go to hell without a wooden penny but us as born again King James Bible believers will have riches aplenty and Glory to God for it!

  • I am still angry about the draft. I spent about 5 years of my life legally beating the draft. It certainly can be done and I will be happy to share that knowledge with the younger generation should it come to that. Collectively we collapsed the Selective Service System with creative monkey wrenching and massive non-compliance. I suspect it could be easier today using social media. A free country should never have coercive military service.

      • Alright, look for something in the Wine Press inbox attention to you. It will be obvious and have a better explanation then can be expressed in the comment section It is complex as there are multiple ways to do it and must be tailored to the needs of the individual.

    • Yes Quatermain, we need to know this!
      If our country wasn’t evil and conquering innocent and weak nations and ACTUALLY fighting and punishing evil, I’d join in a heartbeat (it would be the Air Force for me) but because America is a terror to good instead of evil, forget it!

      We need to know how to say no to those recruiters and avoid the draft like the bubonic plague!

    • Ha! Nice try. The lockdowns will be remembered for decades – in theory at least.
      When we’re in the thousand year reign of Christ on the earth, the Bride of Christ including us will remember the lockdowns.

  • Any draftee will be doomed before he may even see combat because the first thing that will happen is that he will be jabbed to death with all their poison cocktails, including the clot shot. Over time, they will begin, maybe, to realize that they are not fighting for this country…..they have been fighting for the Pope and the Vatican just so one day some satanic beast will occupy a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. Every war of the 20th century was a “Pope’s War”….Vietnam, in my opinion, being the most obvious. Even when they are not in combat, they will be engaged in some sort of janitorial service for the Catholic Church in some part of the world. One ex-GI told me he was assigned to do some menial work for “Mother Theresa” in the slums of Calcutta; another woman I went to school with bragged about some project her husband was involved in fixing some other Vatican property. There’s just so many reasons besides rich oil men to stay out of the military, and it”s going to be far more difficult to do this than ever. At the end of WW2, HItler was using young boys and old men to fight, and I think there will be dictators around that will be ten times worse the him in the future who won’t be interested in any civil arguments against the draft. Your generals will also be sure to lead their draftees right into some trap they will have a hard time getting out of…..like lambs to a slaughter.
