    Wouldn’t private schools apply too with the voucher system? Or is that only meant to stay on the state level?

      Letting private schools operate as a draft dodging system, almost sounds like a feature rather than a bug.

        I don’t know that I’d read that far into it. If a private school doesn’t accept government money, there’s probably no leverage to make them.

          Sounds like a convenient excuse to only do it in public schools from people who don’t have their children in public schools.

          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
