Military draft always on the agenda in US
Some US citizens may labour onder the misapprehension that the draft is something to read about in history books.
The Selective Service System wants to hear from men and women in the community who might be willing to serve as members of a local draft board. If a military draft becomes necessary, approximately 2000 Local and Appeal Boards throughout America would decide which young men, who submit a claim, receive deferments, postponements or exemptions from military service.
If a draft is authorized, a lottery based on birthdays determines the order in which registered men are called up by Selective Service.
[Conscientious objectors take note: Beliefs which qualify a registrant for CO status may be religious in nature, but don't have to be. Beliefs may be moral or ethical; however, a man's reasons for not wanting to participate in a war must not be based on politics, expediency, or self-interest. In general, the man's lifestyle prior to making his claim must reflect his current claims.]
