Men born between 1893 and 1897 reminded to register for the draft

I registered for the selective service and all of that, and it never really crossed my mind. 12 years later, the act seems alarmingly misandristic. It also makes me wonder if any feminists are fighting to have this law updated to include all citizens and not just males...

&quot;These letters were sent due to a computer error, the agency said in a message posted online&quot;<p>No this is a human error. Are they trying to avoid responsibility when this is a minor (and a little funny) mistake ?

The article said 14,000 men. Is that possible that there are that many folks in Pennsylvania that were born between those dates?

&gt; the agency uses a two-digit code for the birth year<p>I find that surprising, I would expect even newcomer professionals to at least have heard about the Y2K bug.

Or maybe it&#x27;s part of the global project to eliminate the world&#x27;s installed base of land mines.
