That's because Selective Service "is a back-up plan that has not been used" is a falsehood.
"the draft" has not been abolished any more than "war is over". The specific drafts for each conflict are finished because the conflicts are finished. The US retains the right to draft its citizens in law, and it (in contrast to many other states) actively maintains a whole government agency just for that, and remains the right to prosecute - to this day - 18 year old men who don't sign up. In more than half of US States, when you get a driving license, you are registered explicitly as eligible for military service.

Do I think your country compelling you to kill people is lower than your country compelling you to patch a binary? I guess I do, on account of not being deranged.
