The U.S. military draft, formally called Selective Service, has been inactive since 1973, though men aged 18-25 must still register. The debate over reinstating conscription centers on whether the nation needs mandatory military service for future conflicts, balancing national security needs against individual liberty and military effectiveness. Recent policy changes have made automatic registration easier, reigniting discussion about whether the draft itself should return.
