Selective Service Act
The act that required men to register with the government for random military service selection is the Selective Service Act of 1940, also known as the Burke-Wadsworth Act. This act was enacted in response to the growing threat of war in Europe and Asia, and it established the first peacetime draft in the United States. It required all men between the ages of 21 and 35 to register with their local draft boards.
Men, age 18 plus.

"Military members that sign up are required to serve eight years once they join the military. The phrase ""stop loss"" refers to the time period after this obligatory eight year period. The government wants to stop those that are up for leaving after the eight years, from actually leaving."
