I’m totally unrelated news, several months ago the US stated they will start automatic draft registration in December 2026 and earlier this month Israel said they are having an issue conscripting enough people to fight in the military.
Tbf this is mostly just a change in paperwork procedure, it was already required for all males of 18 years to register for the draft. They couldn’t actually use it even if they wanted to, one way or another. Nobody would show up, or vanishingly few fools would.

Didn’t men age 18 have to manually enroll in selective service anyways? I know I had to.
It will now be automatic with no choice to refuse
Why didn’t anybody tell me I had a choice to refuse :( no matter, I outside the selection range (for now).
You could always refuse. It just carried enough penalties to ruin your life if you did.
Please draft me and give me access to munitions lmfao
