No one actually gets drafted but there's a whole ghost bureaucracy for it.

But people still have to register as available for military service or loose certain rights and privileges of citizenship?
-
Yep. Well, men only. There was a recent court case that ruled that to be unconstitutional sex discrimination, and it's not clear what happens now.
-
If I may ask one more question - what happens to people that the military wouldn't take (eg transexual)? It seems a crazy system - although, coming from the UK, that must sound a bit rich! ;)

That's a good question, I have no idea!
