A message circulated online claiming the US Congress passed a new law automatically registering men aged 18 to 26 as potential draftees, suggesting it signaled impending forced conscription. However, the US reinstated draft registration in 1980, not a new policy, and registering for the draft does not necessarily mean enlistment or compulsory conscription. The House of Representatives' bill is part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 and aims to streamline registration procedures to unify disparate state systems, but it has not been approved by the Senate yet. The circulated message oversimplifies the consequences of the bill, potentially leading to misunderstandings.
