selective service

[swatiraohnlu]

The Selective Service System is a means by which the United States maintains information on those potentially subject to military conscription. Most male U.S. citizens and male immigrant non-citizens between the ages of 18 to 25 are required by law to have registered within 30 days of their 18th birthday. The Selective Service System provides the names of all registrants to the Joint Advertising Marketing Research & Studies (JAMRS) program for inclusion in the JAMRS Consolidated Recruitment Database. The names are distributed to the Services for recruiting purposes on a quarterly basis.

the act has been challenged in light of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution which prohibits "involuntary servitude." These challenges, however, have not been supported by the courts.

Should selective service be adopted in India as well?

Currently, the law exempts women from registration. The issue of women being exempted was addressed and approved in 1981 by the United States Supreme Court in Rostker v. Goldberg, with the Court holding "The existence of the combat restrictions clearly indicates the basis for Congress' decision to exempt women from registration. The purpose of registration was to prepare for a draft of combat troops. Since women are excluded from combat, Congress concluded that they would not be needed in the event of a draft, and therefore decided not to register them."

Yes.. It isn't right or fair how women have the right to vote and the right to financial aid without having to register for Selective Service.

That right there is blatant sexism and discrimination against men.
With equal rights should come equal responsibilities. Currently women have more rights & privileges than men but have little to none of the responsibilities that should go hand-in-hand with those rights & privileges. That isn't equality, that's the feminists' female supremacy.
