ok for anyone confused. Likely in the us. This sounds a bit like selective service but it goes a bit further although I think in ways the us doesn’t do because we suck. So like 18 males have to get a physical exam to determine if they would be fit for service but all 18 year olds have to sign up were they state if they are interested in the military and if they would be willing to serve if needed. I mean sorta nice relative to the us thing but I can see why there would be protests as obviously they could use the info to call folks up even if they did not express interest. Still given the us selective service I don’t see this as being much more outside of actually asking the persons opinion and it being for both sexes and males getting a free physical (something that would never be condoned in the us).
So is the concern that this will be a “pre-draft” in the event that the government need to enact a draft?
Because what the US has is a draft roll. Basically, when you’re born (males only) you are added to a list and once you turn 18 that list is updated to categorize you as eligible for the draft. Once drafted you would be screened (physical/medical screening etc) and then deemed eligible for service and enlisted.
But we also have one of (if not the) largest volunteer military force in the world. We haven’t actually drafted anyone since the Vietnam War.
If this is the case I can see why people are protesting.
