Answer explanation

All men must register for the Selective Service between the ages of 18 and 26. When you register, you tell the government you can serve in the military if necessary. Selective Service was used in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The government calls this the draft. The United States does not have a draft now. You do not have to serve in the military unless you want to.
