As a non american, what is the "Selective Service"?
- RMacy 13y agoA service to draft males for the US Military.
- explorigin 13y agoIt means you've registered with the military (required at age 18). If we go to war and there are not enough volunteers, you may be "drafted" to join the military. This has not happened since the Vietnam war however.
- codegeek 13y agohttps://www.sss.gov/what.htm https://www.sss.gov/what.htm Basically, if you are under 26, you can be drafted. Think "Vietnam War"
- SDGT 13y agoIt's pretty much unenforced conscription and a way to track the current body of what constitutes a US "militia". Registration is mandatory and failure to do so is punishable by jail time and/ or fines. If we had another draft in the US, this would be the list used.
- up_and_up 13y agoSelective Service means registering with the US government. Giving them your name and contact information so if there was ever the need to draft people into the armed forces in times of war, they have your info.
