I wouldn’t bank on No Draft. When push comes to shove it will happen as it has in Ukraine. I predict a resurgence of “Press Gangs” That will pull kids out of the Universities to go into the New Revolutionary Guards. The new Army with have “Thought Police” Units to make sure all are using the right pronoun. Only the “Right People” will advance in rank, the right skin color etc...

And that’s when our asses will be handed to us in a real war with a real enemy. We’ve already demonstrated our inability to claim victory over illiterate cavemen. What chance do we have against a near peer?

All the troops and all the equipment in the world isn’t enough without the will to win.

There are way too many political, social and cultural trends at work here in the U.S. that make it damn near impossible to impose a draft.

1. Smaller families.

2. Children raised on participation trophies.

3. Widespread — and culturally celebrated — mental pathologies.

4. An absolutely incorrigible population.

It ain’t happening, folks. Who would even want to serve on a draft board or in a position of leadership in an organization whose members include a sizable number of people who have no moral qualms about shooting up a school?

And this will make a comeback....

The American Protective League (1917-1919) was an organization of private citizens sponsored by the United States Department of Justice that worked with Federal law enforcement agencies during the World War I era. Its mission to identify suspected German sympathizers and also to counteract the activities of radicals, anarchists, anti-war activists, and left-wing labor and political organizations. At its zenith, the APL claimed 250,000 members in 600 cities.
