Overview of What Would Occur if the United States Returned to a Draft:
1. Draft Authorization: Congress and the President
A national emergency, exceeding the Department of Defense’s capability to recruit and retain its total force strength, requires Congress to amend the Military Selective Service Act to authorize the President to induct personnel into the Armed Forces.
2. Activation of Selective Service System
Selective Service activates and orders all personnel to report for duty. Reserve Force Officers, along with selected military retirees, begin to open Area Offices to accept registrant claims. Local, District Appeal, and National Board members are notified to report for refresher training.
3. The Lottery
A publicly attended, nationally televised and live-streamed lottery is conducted. The lottery, a random drawing of birthdays and numbers, establishes the order in which individuals receive orders to report for induction. The first to receive induction orders are those whose 20th birthday falls during the year of the lottery. If required, additional lotteries are conducted for those 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 19, and finally 18.5 years-old. Learn more here.
4. Orders to Report to MEPS
Induction notices are sent and registrants may now make claims if desired for a postponement, deferment or exemption. Inductees report to a local Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) for induction. At MEPS, registrants are given a physical, mental, and moral evaluation to determine whether they are fit for military service. Once notified of the results of the evaluation, a registrant will either be inducted into military service or sent home.

1. A national emergency. Does President Vegetable even have to declare it? Check
2. Exceeding the DoD ability to recruit. Check the current recruiting and retainment performance of all branches. Check
3. An act from a congress that routinely, overwhelmingly reaffirms their $500 million dollar a day commitment to their Uke quagmire.
You think Russian mobilization was a hoot, wait until the lottery numbers are drawn. I have a seventeen year old grandson who I’d personally shoot in the foot to avoid seeing him marched off as globalist cannon fodder. Don’t forget, the maniacs in DC are talking about fighting a non nuclear war with the Russians. A neocon dream come true, unlimited American boys to fight ALL their wars.
agree
no good in being a soldier under a lying sociopathical genocidal demented Satanist pedophile
no good whatsoever
We would be hard pressed getting many America hating progressives in the blue states to cooperate with a draft even if the war, unlike the neo con wars, was in direct defense of the US. From a psychological standpoint, I would have a hard time reconciling that I am fighting a defensive war for the freedoms of progressive slackers in blue states who decided to vacation in Canada while it was being fought
I can guarantee you that you’ll never see another draft in your lifetime.
I shudder to think what a draft call up would bring, but I’m pretty sure we’ve not seen anything like the masses that would run from service. We have several generations who have never held a rifle, but they are can text like crazy.
Maybe we can fire emoticons at them.
I think theere would have to be martial law along with it.
There isn’t going to be a draft. The is doom porn.
So, you haven’t heard rumors of war? Yes, this is just like five years ago and five years ago before that. Remember five years ago when Trump was spending $500 million a day in a proxy war with the Russians? Of course, we were all casually taking about non nuclear and nuclear wars as we strategize fighting WWIII. Did Trump have both the 101st and 82nd deployed on full combat alert in POLAND? This empty headed shallowness is exactly what the regime exploits to keep their globalist ambitions alive.
Right the military is not meeting it’s recruiting goals. It is only gettng worse. Conscription is just around the corner.
My children will not serve one day under the current regime that is occupying Washington DC. I no longer have any patience for those who chose to vote Democrat. They can all rot.
Oh yeah, a draft is coming.
If a draft were remobilized, I guarantee the population of Canada would triple almost over night. Just the mere thought of having to listen to someone telling our independent minded children what to do would see them scatter to the four corners of the world.
When I grew up the draft was a fact of life. Today it would be an afterthought. Do we need a draft? NO. Last thing I would want is one of my descendants listening to a woke sermon by Milli Vannilli.
What killed the draft before was the great surfeit of potential candidates for conscription. The “draft lottery” based on date of birth, was seen as something akin to playing Russian Roulette with a revolver pistol. The fact that the conscription was for a war that did not ignite the passions of young men, and the chances of the “selective” service being unfavorable in any instance weighed heavily on the minds of perhaps a majority of those subject to the draft.
There is no longer any great pool of potential service members to be drawn from the general population. So few are COMPETENT to serve, either because of physical problems, lack of any trainable skill sets, or ideological reasons which would make them unreliable in combat.
And there is no compelling reason to enter into a farce of conflicting and often unattainable goals that have nothing at all to do with military readiness.
The problem is that Canada would be on the side of the US this time, as both would be under WEF Rule.
They will need a draft to force white males into the Army. White males are the back bone of the Army and everyone knows it.
Maybe not a draft to serve in the military, per se, but perhaps to be used for Civil Service projects, the Liberals would love something like that.
The non nuclear war against the Russians that the entirety of DC is on board fighting won’t require more men? If a nuke detonates in Ukraine just what do you think will happen (assuming we aren’t nuked)? You guys applaud when DC commits to manning and defending an additional 800 miles of new NATO/Russian frontier. Where do you find the troops?
Millions and millions of Ukraine flags would disappear from facebook profiles overnight.
