Selective Service registration is still in operation as far as I know. If at some point we have a WWII/III style situation, we have a mechanism in place to deal with that as it comes. A draft at this time is unneccessary, not to say unpopular. "To that last, you know I am not in favor of a draft. BUT when Japan hit Pearl Harbor, we had under 500,000 men in the military, and without looking it up, I think the number was about 350,000. We had 16 million people in the Armed Forces by the end of the war."
