No way! Carter was a liberal. I guess the exception proves

"In 1973, the draft ended and the U.S. converted to an All-Volunteer
military.

The registration requirement was suspended in April 1975. It was
resumed again in 1980 by President Carter in response to the Soviet
invasion of Afghanistan. Registration continues today as a hedge
against underestimating the number of servicemen needed in a future
crisis."
