Can the United States have a draft?
Theoretically, yes, but the possibility of that happening is slim.

Fleury says that by law, the government can require only that men register. The government would need to enact new legislation to actually put men in arms.

"I would also say that the likelihood of a draft is astronomically small," Fleury says. "It’s militarily impractical and politically toxic."

Winkie says a draft is meant to be activated in an extreme emergency and that even a full-scale war with Iran right now would probably not meet the necessary threshold to justify reactivating the draft.

"In this current geopolitical situation, there's almost zero chance unless somehow we end up in a large-scale ground war directly with Russia or China," Winkie speculates. That's because he says we currently have enough people in the military to serve should there be a war with Iran.

Do all 18-year-olds have to register for selective service?
Short answer: If you're male, yes. Men between the ages of 18 and 25 are legally required to register for the selective service.

This happens automatically in many states when men obtain their driver's licenses, says Winkie. Applying for college financial aid is another way to register.

The law says you have up until 30 days after you turn 18 to register, but there is a grace period that allows you to register up until the last day of your 25th year.

Failing to register may lead to fines, possible imprisonment and not being eligible for certain benefits.

Who is exempt from selective service?
Men who are not between the ages of 18 and 26. That's about it.

If you are a permanent resident, regardless of citizenship status, you are expected to register for the selective service, says Winkie.

But just because you're registered does not mean you will automatically have to serve in the military if a draft is reinstated.

"If you have a physical or mental condition that keeps you from serving, that'll be decided after you're drafted," Winkie says. "Same goes for people who are dual nationals. If they decide they don't want to draft Iranian Americans for such a conflict, they'll determine that after they draft you."

Transgender people are prohibited from openly serving in the U.S. military, but trans women are still required to register for the draft because they were originally assigned a male at birth, says Winkie.

When was the last U.S. draft?
The last men to be drafted were those drafted in December 1972 for
