The nation lacks the processes and systems to conduct a military draft in response to a near-peer conflict, according to a new report by a think tank based in Washington, D.C.
The United States ended conscription in 1973, relying since on the all-volunteer force.
But all U.S. males ages 18 to 25 are still required to register with the Selective Service System in case a draft is ever needed again.
"To be clear, this report is not advocating for implementation of a draft," states the Center for a New American Security report, which was released June 18.
"Rather, it is a call to ensure that if the United States ever faced an existential threat requiring the president and Congress to pass a draft, the systems, processes, and structures necessary to successfully execute it would be in place," it continues.

There’s the money quote. Our current system takes six months to send a puny force of 100,000 to basic training. What’s basic nowadays, another six months? That’s why it will be argued by the usual suspects that we need to mobilize now. We need a draft today!
Well, let's prepare by drafting the Zeepers, particularly the Foreign ones!
The article talks about an “existential threat” to the country. Sorry, but no one will buy that anymore. Sign up to protect your country (or get drafted) and you’re just cannon fodder in yet another foreign adventure.
The government has lost credibility. In a way, it’s like the old fable, The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
The hippies will resist the next draft. And I suspect the good ol’ boys will, too.
I don’t think that aspect of the draft is even staffed and funded. I think all that is in place is registration and the pending legislation makes it automatic, which is good. What is missing is that it should include BOTH men and women. If a woman can be president, vice-president, or any other role in our country, then they can and should be equally available for a draft. That doesn’t mean they go directly to combat any more than it does for any individual young man; they will get assigned where best suited. So, register both or register none.
Good. Service to GloboHomo is service to Satan.
In this day and age, war slavery is over. People won’t tolerate that any more than they would tolerate the government telling you to move to another state, and work at a low paying job they are assigning you. This is especially true for the foreign adventures DC pushes for the benefit of DC/the “Defense” Industry, and Bankers.
None of the wars today are conducted to protect regular go to work Americans.
This why the IRR was formed along with the NG. They were first sent into battle while we went into WWII in a blind rage. Why do you think the first combat troops weren’t deployed until 6 months after Pearl Harbor?
Ain’t gonna happen. Like Reagan said the closest thing to eternal life is a government program. This program is the freedom to not take part in it.
If you want to draft people at gunpoint, and force them to fight, Defense Industry and governmental pay scales should instantly revert to a military pay scale for the duration.
Instead of 23 million, the Lockheed CEO gets around 200k, the salary of a 4 star General. President goes to 4 star salary, Congress goes to a Colonel’s pay, and so forth.
We are capitalist, right up until time the require them to use market forces to get soldiers. Pay a Blackrock contractor wage and you’ll have all the experienced soldiers you could ever need. But they don’t want to do that.... they resort to force.
Let the democrats be the ones to talk about a draft. With our luck it’ll be Linda.
We better start flunking some young men in Physical Education. That subject once mattered.
Nope. I keep seeing that same old argument that women can be admin, medics, supply etc. Under US law, no MOS can be exclusively male.
They can and will assign them to the infantry, to combat ships, etc.
It’s bullcrap to draft females. So 2/3 of women are all in for the radfem agenda. That doesn’t mean that minority of our daughters who were raised to be Christian women, to form families and have babies should be enslaved and put into the hands of rampant lesbianism in the DI and Officer ranks, and then passed onto units where debauchery is the rule.
And not in the service of the agenda of the DC and Globohomo Party.
The ruling class has fragmented the U.S. so badly that there isn’t a single cohort that would be happy to join the U.S. military other than young people trying to get combat training for you know what. The U.S. hasn’t had an existential threat since 1861 and everyone knows it. The current generation of 18-25-year-olds are going to laugh if someone tries to draft them.
The reptiles haven’t figured out how to send our sons off to die while their illegal alien invading pets stay back America taking our jobs and women.
So, excluding women from the draft, from equal or shared responsibility as citizens, does that mean you also exclude them from elected roles in the country? How can they be president if they can’t be called upon to serve in the military?
How surprising that a rabid Zeeper supports the draft. If only the Ukrainian boosters would volunteer and then no draft would be needed.
Go volunteer and shut up about the draft.
This crap was pushed by a Ukrainian immigrant daughter who was in the Air Force. Female military officers think all women should have to join their sicko agenda.
And the reason we “need” a draft is that with homos, trannies, drag queens, the filthy abuse of our forces in Afghanistan, the traitors like Milley, Clapper, the prosecution of Eddie Gallagher, pissy female Navy officers refusing to speak to each other ramming into container ships, massively abusive female Surface Warfare Captains getting relieved, Army command level officers wearing dog masks and buggering his junior officers. Red high heel marches, faggotry stand downs, etc. Impending world war. Mandatory covid shots. And Congress just turned down a pay raise. Institutional hatred and denigration of white males. Renaming bases in the name of revolutionary socialism, you name it.
That’s why you can’t recruit.
“The current generation of 18-25-year-olds are going to laugh if someone tries to draft them.”
That’s how I see it. All the plans from DC will hit a brick wall of massive non-compliance. Libs don’t wanna play. And conservatives don’t want to provide kids to a perverted military for modern elective wars for power and profit.
Nobody will comply.
We need a draft today

Carry on War cheerleader.Your road leads to destruction.
I already convinced my nephew and three of his high school friends not to join the Army. It didn't take much. They already feel Fed.gov is corrupt as hell, and laugh at the likes of Rachel Levine, Pete butt-plug or Kamala Harris leading this country. Good kids - I try to direct their masculine instincts to other things like sports, local community, career and knowledge building, and family.
And as you point out, his 1970s-hippy father doesn't like their lean towards conservative "populism" - but doesn't argue with me on this point.
