Military conscription is an injustice which should be ended. No person should be forced to serve in an armed conflict against his or her will.
The Selective Service System is charged with collecting and storing personal information about potential recruits, and young men who fail to register face criminal penalties and are often denied education benefits, employment, and other opportunities.
Numerous senior military officials have stated that America's interests are best served with an all-volunteer military force.
We ask that the Selective Service System be dismantled and that our elected officials take steps to ensure that no American is ever again forced to serve in the military or in any sort of national service program.
