The US hasn't had an active draft since the end of the Viet Nam war so what is the point?

As far as I am concerned this law suit is a good idea. Invalidate the draft registration law. End the draft registration. The government will stop spending a few million dollars a year on a program that produces nothing.

If we did suddenly need a draft it could be started up in a few days with web based system.

As a side note I would be interested to know if anyone had ever been prosecuted for failing to register for the draft.

I was a draft board member in the late 1980’s and 1990’s. We were **this** close to drafting physicians during Desert Storm.

The point as with so many of their idiotic ideas is “agitation.”
