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.

Grab the popcorn on that one.
You are wrong that Americans have to man the borders of NATO countries that border Russia, we won’t be manning Finland’s borders if we accept their request to join.
This is the kind of thing people will get “Drafted” into

No doubt, there will be alternatives. Draft boards will be an extension of America’s two tiered “justice system”. Oh, now you object to war and the draft because of its inherent racism? Of course, that young man goes to work in a government paid outreach program to educate everyone on the perils of climate change. The young white deployable deplorable, my grandson, globalist cannon fodder to defend ethnic Ukes in Donbas.
Ah, yes. The benefits of being a “white, male supremacist”
Will women and minorities be the target too in Biden’s slacker raids?🤪🤪
“I Don’t Wanna Get Drafted”

Actually I joined the Conservation Corp one summer in Tennessee. Thought I would be doing work like I did on the farm, clearing, planting etc.
What we did was psychological tests or just sat around drawing a check each week. I took the money but was very disappointed.
I kid you not. My first experience with a government boondoggle.
Maybe, but they know how to shoot ‘em up w Call of Duty. Problem is, they are fat and lazy sitting in their parent’s basement. Look at Fetterman.
That’s also how they’ll deal with unemployment.
It’s called going to war by a tyrannical president without congressional declaration of war. Korea and Vietnam comes to mind.
Considering that the future wars will be fought with drones controlled from home, it might not be a bad skill.
Two of my sons are too old for the draft, and the third one who is still of a draftable age has a medical condition that would disqualify him.
Good.
I wonder how vax would play into this.
Aren’t they kicking out those refusing clot shots?
If don’t want to be drafted, just stay unvaxxed?
81 million alleged votes later.....
“At MEPS, registrants are given a physical, mental, and moral evaluation to determine whether they are fit for military service.”
Fond memories. The full body cavity search is probably the best part of MEPS processing. *SMIRK*
(Second only to open bay toilets.)
On the bright side, we can all be 100% certain that today’s crop of Snowflakes will never even make it past MEPS. ;)
So, you know what the future holds then?
Tell us oh wise one: what are today's powerball numbers here in the states?
Will Republicans take the House & Senate this election? By how wide of a margin?
Will we ever see justice for Ashli Babbitt?
Never underestimate the power of propaganda to flip the public, we saw that in 1916.
If we had a Curtis LeMay or George Patton running our military, I would bring back the draft and task the drill instructions to kick major ass of the young punks.
I am of the opinion that the draft should first focus on those who received college loans / grants that are unemployed, Non STEM degrees and behind in their repayments.
Interesting reference, I will have to look that one up.
