Episode Details

Amidst escalating tensions with Iran, the U.S. has activated automatic Selective Service registration for eligible men aged eighteen to twenty-five, as per the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act. This setup, though not active yet, prepares for a potential draft. Immigrants and dual nationals must register, with few exceptions. Women are not required, but could be in the future. Exemptions apply for active duty troops, service academy cadets, and those on student or tourist visas. Penalties for dodging remain severe, including prison time, fines, and loss of federal benefits. The system remains on standby amid regional volatility.
