Draft Can Be Tough In Crisis and Carries Teeth For Any Emergency
In a partial report, the draft law remains strict with a year extension possible under Selective Service, though no revisions are planned. Defense officials note men with dependents may be exempt at boards and the president can adjust deferments. The law limits total forces and ages, with the Army aiming for voluntary recruitment to fill gaps. Registration covers 18 to 25 year olds, service length is 21 months, and most World War II veterans are exempt.
