We haven’t needed a draft since 1975, and arguably even well before that.
My own experience with this tinhorn dictatorship was maddening. Registration was reinstated in 1980 so I went down to the post office to register. 15 years later I was in college trying to get a loan and they told me I had not registered. Bullshit.
So I said, “no problem, I’ll just re-register. If I get called up, that’s that, I’ll serve.” They said I was too OLD to register now. Complete and utter bullshit.
So I worked with my useless congressman at the time, Mr. Huffington whose fame was that he inherited oil wealth and was married to Arianna Huffington. No avail, more bullshit. Then I worked with my senator Dianne Feinstein who, being one of the most powerful politicians on the planet, still couldn’t get this ridiculous part of a tyrranical & useless bureaucracy changed. Complete and amazing Kafkaesque bullshit.
A draft would be one way to reverse the flood of immigrants crossing our southern border. ;)
“We haven’t needed a draft since 1975, and arguably even well before that.”
Per the Selective Service: “The last man inducted entered the U.S. Army on June 30, 1973 during the last draft conducted.”
I registered in early 1973 upon turning 18, was never sent for a physical and only went thru an administrative classification process. I was placed in 1-H (Holding) plus was later reclassified upon taking the oath to enter Army ROTC in college. I think I still have my draft classification card among my papers somewhere.
