Draft

Sequence of Events

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.

From Selective Service

"I think the draft in the future scenario would look less like it did in Vietnam and more like it did during the world wars,"

Not when the grandparents and the parents are hiding the draftees...

This country will never see another military draft in our lifetimes.

Should the U.S. be better prepared to reinstate military conscription?

Selectively, Yes.

All Zeepers, Ukraine Supporters, Democrats and their Families, Male, Female and any other gender identification, should be immediately Conscripted.

Slavery is unconstitutional. There is no exception for war slavery.

A draft is virtually impossible now. It would have to include drafting women and I would expect a lot of outrage over that.

Now that the military is thoroughly feminized and 'homosexualized' with “pride” events on military bases, the idea of a volunteer military is fading. The administrative state will have to try for conscription, and that attempt will likely fail.

Should never have had the military so low.

Personally, I think it would look like Paris in 1793.

Conscription into the military as presently constituted cannot improve ability or readiness.

A country and military run by corrupt ‘elties’ isn’t worth dying for... that’s the reality behind citizens not signing up.

Our deep state has already drafted and is paying a vast foreign legion to invade our boarders, steal our elections, rape and murder our women and children and eat our pets and waterfowl!

imagine being drafted into a work military. Where if you don’t like serving under a mentally ill tranny officer you’ll be court martialed.

This will go over really well.

If the military is scrubbed of it’s woke DEI policies, faggots and transgenders and management that supports all this crap, real merit based LEADERSHIP is promoted and we get back to kicking ass and taking names with state of the art equipment then there will be no recruitment issues.

It won't be like the Vietnam era.

The sort of people who were the most gung-ho back then will be the biggest draft resisters.

And in the military itself there will be major mutinies among conscripts, not just fragging.
