According to sources, it was reported that the U.S. House of Representatives passed a new defense bill which is intertwined with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which will automatically register American men between the ages of 18-26 for Selective Service. Before the passing of this new bill in the House of Representatives by a 57 to 1 vote. This bill comes not only at a time as the American Military is struggling to find recruits combined with Americans proxy war via Ukraine on Russia which is not only heating up; but it comes at a time when Russia has just conducted its annual port call for military naval drills in Havana, Cuba which is 90 miles off the coast of Florida.
Even though by U.S. law, all men in America that meet the requirements for military service are required to register with Selective Services as soon as they turn 18, they had to do so by manually filling out the necessary paperwork. With the new 2024 Selective Service bill which recently passed in the U.S. House of Representatives, and is now headed to the U.S. senate, it would in effect “streamline” the process of automatically enrolling all American men that are eligible by shifting through the existing federal database of all U.S. male citizens. Keep in mind that before and even after this new bill is passed, any man in America, that fits the requirements for Selective Service and fails to register will be charged with a federal felony.
There's a lot to be said about this. For one, many men in America feel that it’s not Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa. place to lead the charge in this matter because she, like all women in America are exempt from Selective Service and therefore should not be spearheading laws like this which specifically affect men when it comes to being drafted into the American Military. Secondly, it was reported that roughly 71% of young Americans between the ages of 18-26 are disqualified from entering military service because they are either too fat to fight, suffer from mental illness to include depression, have other health conditions, are on mood altering drugs, or have criminal records.
For many Americans young and old, with the House of Representatives passing this bill 57 to 1 lets them know a couple of things. The first thing it tells them is that Americans are not willing to join the American Military because if they were, then politicians would not be seeking to pass a new Selective Service (Draft) bill like this essentially forcing people to join. Secondly, it sends the message to the American people; that the changes that were made in the U.S. Military concerning the idea of embracing DEI ideology, meaning the open acceptance of homosexuals, transexuals, and “Woke-ism” aren’t generally accepted by the American people. As a result of the American Military adopting DEI ideology, they have essentially shot itself in the foot, thus by their own hands, they reduced their own numbers.
In fact, with the American Military’s implementation of DEI, it has done nothing but alienate its core group of legacy servicemen. These servicemen who are typically White, Christian, Conservative, and masculine young adult males have been turning their backs on the American Military because of the seemingly feminine friendly/gay agenda that the U.S. Military has been pushing over the last 5 to 6 years. A military draft has not been proposed since 1973, and the introduction of this bill into the U.S. Senate may just reinvigorate the American draft.
