Or it's a legacy system they never bothered properly fixing and just used some quick hack when 2000 rolled around.

It is 2014, males born in the 2000s are not yet at an age where they would be harassed by the selective service.

My estimate is we will see this blow up again in 2018.

I don't think so. It's always 118-126 years, no matter what year it is right now, so we'll only see this blow up if there's an explosion in that population.

Sorta knowing the sad state of government IT, it's possible that it was never "fixed" at all!
