Louisiana: Boys must register for draft to apply for driver's license
Everett Bonner, state director of Selective Service, said information collected by the Office of Motor Vehicles is forwarded to a federal data management center in Chicago.
''They do accept it. I can promise you. They do not process it until the young man turns 18,'' he said.
He said registering young men when they get their drivers' licenses is a convenience and a way to help those who don't know they must register. Anyone failing to register is ''considered a felon without conviction,'' he said, and may lose opportunities and benefits. Chevalier questioned how the state can force a minor child to ''sign on the dotted line'' without his parents' consent.
New turn on an old saying: a Republican is a Democrat who has never been drafted.
