This is the system that is in the U.S., while not really a draft forcing people to join immediately it is still forcing them to go in case of war. If you don't sign up, you could potentially be fined and be unable to get a government job. If someone has more knowledge on the subject I would be glad to hear it.
I think it is utter bullshit. I didn't ever plan on serving in the military and I sure as well don't want to sign something saying that I will under the threat of being unable to get any grant to go to college or a fine, not to mention that it is singling out men compared to women who do not have to register.
