There may be no plans for a national military draft, but that hasn't kept Louisiana from registering teenagers too young to serve in case conditions change.
The Town Talk reports that Larry Chevalier of Glenmora was alarmed when his 16 year-old son Nathan had to register with the Selective Service System in order to get a driver's license.
"I just can't believe it. That amazes me," Chevalier said.
During the recently concluded presidential campaigns, you may recall, the major candidates repeatedly said they had no plans to resume compulsory military service.
Neither Chavalier nor his son knew before going to the Office of Motor Vehicles that Nathan would be required to pre-register for the draft in order to get his first driver's license, he said.
Of course, this would be the first time ever that the government started to get away with something bordering on nefarious behavior without telling the general public.
