WASHINGTON (PNN) - April 9, 2026 - The Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) will automatically register eligible men aged 18 to 25 for a military draft pool beginning in December.
The rule change was submitted by the Selective Service System, which maintains a database of Amerikans who would be able to serve in the military.
“This statutory change transfers responsibility for registration from individual men to SSS through integration with federal data sources,” the agency's website says.
It adds that the rule change remains under review by regulatory affairs and is awaiting finalization.
The last time a draft was conducted in the FPSA was in the 1970s, during Amerika's highly controversial involvement in the Vietnam War.
Despite no active conscription, men between the ages of 18 and 25 had still been required to register with the Selective Service System should one be activated.
The agency's website said that this rule change will merely streamline this process as part of a “workforce realignment”.
There have been multiple proposals to also add young women to the draft, but none that have passed into law.
Men who fail to register face a fine of up to $250,000, five years in prison, and loss of eligibility for federal programs.
Shortly after the undeclared “war” in Iran began, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt refused to rule out the option on an appearance with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News.
“President (Donald J.) Trump wisely does not (take) options off the table. I know a lot of politicians like to do that quickly,” Leavitt told Bartiromo on Sunday.
She insisted, however, that it is not part of the current plan.
President Trump has so far publicly downplayed the option of deploying ground troops, saying he would only do so “if necessary” but that it would be a “waste of time”.
At the same time, unverified reports emerged of unnamed and possibly nonexistent “sources” supposedly claiming the president has privately expressed “serious interest” in such a deployment. It is just as likely that no such claims exist and no such reports are valid.
Bartiromo noted that “mothers are worried” there would be a draft that takes their sons to war.
Leavitt said that President Trump “wants to continue to assess the success of this military operation” before making a decision on the matter of ground troops.
For decades, polls have shown that Amerikans are strongly against a draft, their resistance shaped largely by the failures of the Vietnam War and a preference for an all-volunteer, professional defense force.
Any attempts to bring back the draft would have to be approved by Congress, which would need to amend the Military Selective Service Act.
