Why specifically state on the SSS's website that undocumented (illegal) aliens have to register? If they cannot serve, then why do they have to register? If they could be drafted, then why couldn't they enlist?
Hell, they're already willing to die crossing the border.

Re: Selective Service System
Well they keep saying that there will not be a draft.
The US has no history of its elite participating in the Military, if memory serves me right there was one Represenative's son who served for the North in the Civil War and none at all that fought in Vietnam.
Now that will be closely looked at should it arise, but I would expect that many would volunteer for the safe option rather than be drafted as grunts.
Now of course EWI's can not volunteer. So they would end up drafted and in the in the shitter.
Nice!
(or more likely a stampede back to the border)

Re: Selective Service System
Heres a fairly fresh article from the aussie daily telegraph, not too long.
Military draft back on US agenda
It doesn't surprise me the army national guard are down 29%, have you heard their radio commercials? they are worse than the budweiser ones. Now how the hell are you supposed to get people to join like that?
