18 is the draft age but if you’re not drafted why should that affect you? Never understood that, we haven’t had a draft in 50 years

Unfortunately, there's more to the draft than that. The Selective Service is the registration admin responsible for keeping track of the draft pool. If a man doesn't register with SS he can't get a job in the government, can't get federal student aid, and is breaking the law.

There have been cases of men being fired from their job for failure to register even though they are too old to be drafted.
