As an ex 82nd trooper of the 70’s, I can assure our corrupted, immoral, confused government my kids and foster kids will NEVER be drafted for this confused corrupted administration.

Bank on it.

The time for reintroducing the draft was immediately after 9/11. Even people posting here would have gone for it.

The US military has spent the better part of the past seven years driving conservatives away from military service in favor of woke ideology and DEI propaganda.

That span of time begins with and encompasses Trump's first term. The author is effectively asserting Trump initiated the military's immersion into woke culture, DEI, etc. I have a hard time buying that.

Americans were asked if they believed a new civil war was likely to happen within their lifetime.

Dumb question. A better question would have been: "if they believed a state(s) secession was likely to happen within their lifetime?"

"A lot of people woke up during that period and realized that an attempt at a totalitarian state in the US was not only possible, it was happening right in front of them."

I guess he was one of those who woke up.?

Irrespective of whatever Administration is in office, the draft will be largely evaded by the draft eligible.

I have long suspected that a major war would be seen as a prime opportunity by the left.

When politically problematic elements of the military are out of the country, and conservative citizens have been drafted... major opposition to a domestic crackdown on the citizens would have been removed.

Loyal leftwing troops would be kept in the US, conservative troops would be thousands of miles away. No way the left wouldn’t see that as a chance to get rid of their domestic opposition.
