    Yeah but cutting out government redundancy has always been a big part of conservative leadership.

    So why have a selective service registration at all, if all the (non-rich) kids are taking the ASVAB anyway?

    The draft pool will exclusively consist of the bottom 95%.

      ASVAB is just a test. Presumably it shows something about your intelligence or what roles you might be suited for

      Registering for Selective Service is telling them. Where to find you and how to contact you

      There hasn’t been a draft in a lot of years. Given the speed of most modern warfare, I wonder if it’s even useful anymore. The war will be over before you get through boot camp. Then again, there’s Ukraine
