Let's make this clear:
As a United States citizen (and especially male citizens 18-26 years old), you are obliged to register for the Selective Service. Signing up with the SSS is one of your obligations, duties, and responsibilities as a United States citizen, and shying away from it isn't going to help. You probably already know that there's federal laws in place to ensure that young adults receiving anything from the government has to be registered with the Selective Service in order to receive those benefits.
Also, like everyone said, this is a fact: There has not been a draft since the Vietnam War. And unless U.S. presidents have a VERY good reason to activate the draft (ex: our nation is being threatened with invasion), it would be political suicide to activate the draft for no good effing reason. In other words, its very unlikely that you're going to be drafted in this current time and day.
End of story.
tl;dr - Just register. Don't skirt off your responsibilities and duties as a United States citizen. Plus its unlikely you're going to get drafted anyways.
