Critics of President Donald Trump are fuming at the Pentagon’s plans to automate the military draft, a change the President ushered in by signing legislation in December.

Since then, Trump has ordered US troops into Venezuela to capture dictator Nicolas Maduro and has gone to war with Iran – despite pledging on the 2024 campaign trail that he would keep the country out of ‘forever’ wars.

So when the Selective Service System, the agency that handles the draft, submitted the ‘automatic registration’ rule change to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in late March, that raised eyebrows because now there’s a war to fight.

‘Starting in December, there will now be automatic registration for the U.S. military draft,’ pointed out Kentucky Democratic Senate candidate Charles Booker. ‘On one hand, Republicans want to make it harder to VOTE.’

‘On the other hand, they want your loved ones automatically registered to serve in an endless war overseas,’ the former state lawmaker added.

Democratic congressional candidate Qasim Rashid echoed the sentiment.

‘Somehow automatic voter registration isn’t possible – but automatic registration for the draft program is both possible and now required,’ he posted to X on Wednesday. ‘MAGAs don’t want to make it easier for young people to vote – just easier for them to die in Trump’s illegal wars.’

Rashid also noted that Trump’s hardline immigration stance is reflected in the policy.
