Original caption
Many Americans don’t realize that Selective Service registration is not the same as being drafted. Millions of men ages 18-25 are required to register, including certain non-citizens living in the United States. While America has not had a draft since 1973, the conversation raises an important question: Who does the country consider part of the nation when it needs them most? 🇺🇸 #SelectiveService #MilitaryDraft #AmericanHistory #ImmigrationDebate #GovernmentExplained
