Dead and gone. The Selective Service System still exists on paper, but it isn't doing anything except wasting a small amount of taxpayer money. The military does not need cannon fodder -- it needs people who can operate and maintain today's complex weapons systems, and you cannot obtain such by pulling them off the street for a two-year hitch: you have to hire them, pay them what they are worth, and keep them for years.
