If this version of the bill passes into law, men between 18 to 26 would automatically be registered for the draft. The Selective Service would be able to use federal databases to find the information they need to do this automatic registration. However, Chuck Schumer had issues with the bill. There were amendments that curbed funding for abortion, for transgender medical care, and for diversity efforts. The Senate&#8217;s version of the bill reportedly requires women to register for the draft.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>From Fox News:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;By using available federal databases, the [Selective Service] agency will be able to register all of the individuals required and thus help ensure that any future military draft is fair and equitable,&#8221; Houlahan said during debate last month, according to Defense News.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This will also allow us to rededicate resources &#8212; basically that means money &#8212; towards reading readiness and towards mobilization &#8230; rather than towards education and advertising campaigns driven to register people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The NDAA also included the largest-ever military pay raise in history, with a 19.5% increase for junior enlisted troops and a 4.5% increase for others.<\/p>\n<p>It also included funding for two new Virginia-class submarines and the establishment of a drone force within the U.S. Army, among other provisions.<\/p>\n<p>The NDAA passed the House in a 217 to 199 vote, but it&#8217;s unlikely to be taken up by the Senate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks to Odie, Anonymous, and others for this report.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional Reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Elkind, E.
