President Carter reinstated the registration on July 2, 1980 after the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. It had been suspended by President Ford since March 29 1975 That's why there were huge protests in front of the post offices in July of 1980 when most of us ran the gauntlet... Memories of the Vietnam War were still fresh in people's minds and the anti-war movement still very much alive and well. . | |||

I have had a great deal of fun at the dailymails expense over the years, but in this case I will say without doubt this is an excellent expose and definitely worth our time. One thing's for sure, someone put their arse on the line to get this story and publish it. Thanks Saeed . | |||

Thanks for the history lesson Ty some of that flew under my radar as I was too young to keep track at that time. Wymple, I see your point now against my post. But it appears Ty is accurate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.

still don't make any difference if he was 17 or 24, you were required to register when the law come into effect. it's not like you grandfathered out of registering, unless you were a foreign citizen. | |||

So where is the evidence he did not register? | |||

So, now you can STFU? Claim #5, Selective Service registration. Obama’s Selective Service registration is public. A copy has been posted publicly, and the Selective Service confirmed that Obama registered for the draft on Sept. 4, 1980, and was given registration number 61-1125539-1. Worth noting is that nobody in the U.S. has been drafted for military service since 1972, the year Obama turned 11. Obama, like other young men turning age 18 since then, was required to register on a standby basis, in case Congress ever resumes an active military draft. Failure to register is technically a crime, and disqualifies a man for federal student aid or from holding certain federal jobs. | |||

When Reagan ran against Carter that year (1980) one of the planks he ran on was to overturn Carter's resumption of The Selective Service. ~~~~~~~~~ https://www.independent.org/news/article.asp?id=1317 He commented in 1979 that it “rests on the assumption that your kids belong to the state.... That assumption isn’t a new one. The Nazis thought it was a great idea.” But once elected, Reagan kept the Selective Service intact. ~~~~~~~~~ It was a sobering baptism into politics for this 18 y.o., lemme tell ya. That said, were you to ask me how I feel now, after 40 years of retrospect, I would say The United States has the finest all volunteer military on earth. Something President Andrés Manuel López Obrador would do well to recognize... . | |||
