No war for me

You can be drafted... More lib MSM lies...

Could there be a military draft in the event of a war with Iran is a question millions of Americans are searching right now — and the short answer is: almost certainly not.

Here’s why:

No draft is currently active. The U.S. has relied on an all-volunteer military for over 50 years.
Congress must act first. Only Congress can reinstate a draft by amending the Military Selective Service Act. The president cannot do it alone.
No bills are on the table. As of now, there are zero active bills in Congress to bring back the draft.
Public opposition is overwhelming. 77% of Americans oppose or are unsure about conscription, according to Rasmussen polling.
The military has enough volunteers. There is no current troop shortage severe enough to trigger conscription.

Despite these facts, social media has been flooded with draft fears since U.S. and Israeli strikes targeted Iranian nuclear facilities in what was reported as Operation Midnight Hammer. Viral posts — many tied to false claims about Project 2025 — have caused real anxiety, especially among young men aged 18 to 25 who are required to be registered with the Selective Service System.

It’s important to separate registration from induction. Being registered does not mean you will be drafted. Registration is simply a legal requirement that keeps the system ready if Congress ever authorizes a draft.

Asking congress to do anything is like asking the sun to set in the east

Could be the fear of the changes the draft might have to undergo if it was revived in the 21st Century. Draft women as well as men? Stop giving out deferments, especially for college students? Alternate government service as an option? Do a lottery? The possibilities are endless.

And we all know there isn’t a single member in congress willing to do what’s needed in America today

LOL... you didn't know the draft was a lottery before it was ended??

Now where, pray tell, did I say that? Perhaps you could use a refresher course in reading comprehension. OOPS!
Sometimes the draft used a lottery, other times it didn't. I was simply speculating whether or not they might if the draft was revived. OOPS!

Could you go back and read what you wrote? You implied doing a lottery was something new...

OOPS!!

Where did I say that? I didn't imply anything! You're seeing stuff that isn't there! OOPS!!!
Don't forget, READING COMPREHENSION! OOPS!!!

"Do a lottery?"

OOOOOOPS!!!

So what? That doesn't mean anything. Like I said earlier, sometimes the draft has a lottery, sometimes it doesn't. You're imagining what isn't there. OOPSIE.

And here I was thinking you had wit. Well, I'm half right, anyway.

Fun fact... the last active draft was a lottery.

I never said it wasn't. Plain as day.

AV says Congress must act to reinstate a draft. That's a joke! Did Trump get Congress's approval to go to war with Iran? No! If Trump wants a draft, he'll do it without Congress's approval, just like he started a war without Congress's approval.

I wasn’t expecting you all to take this one so seriously.
