Men, to war
Selective service act.
the selective service act was necessary because during world war 1, america did not have much of an army, so they eventually had to start drafting men age's 18 or older, into the army. This drafting was called the selective service act. :)
The Selective Service Act was put in place to allow the United States government to assemble an army through conscription in order to enter into World War I.

The Selective Service Act of 1917 allowed the United States government to draft soldiers into military service during World War I. By establishing a system for conscription, it ensured a steady and sufficient supply of troops to meet the demands of the war effort. This act not only mobilized millions of men quickly but also fostered a sense of national unity and commitment to the war, preparing the nation both militarily and psychologically for the challenges ahead.
