If there ever is a draft, rich people and politician's families should be the first to join and be deployed. I'm not dying for someone who is not willing to risk anything.
fortunate son's
yeah wont happenning, the rich will be cosy in the navy while you die in the mud
@@angiefolle lol good luck with that. That won’t happen.
we should get rid of large scale conflicts, bring back dueling between politicians
Agreed equality right
Wait how come men only get drafted I thought women were strong and independent?
Idk
Strange
They probably will draft women this time cause of gender equality
Because Gender Equality wasn't as advanced the last time there was a draft. Sexism is not a good look on you all.
Because they haven't changed the laws. Women have been falling over themselves to get into fighting roles since the war for independence. Women aren't the issue here
War. Old men talking, young men dying for no reason.
In a lot of cases those old men were in the young man’s position in the past.
Amen
@@LoverBoyWalker no
War, it feeds the rich and buries the poor.

I am confident I will not be drafted in WW3 as I am already a disabled veteran at 32. Been there, done that and they already broke me.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice
Live long and prosper guy. You've earned it. USA owes you biggly
Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
China will crush USA anyway
Thank you for your sacrifice sir.
If we did have a draft, I think the US would have to split draftees into 2 camps. One camp would be for people who are ready to be trained for combat. The other camp would have to be for people who are overweight and need to get into shape.
They already kinda have that now lol. When I went through basic they called it “Fat Camp” it wasn’t actually about weight more specifically your physical readiness. If they felt you weren’t physically ready at either the beginning or end of basic they kept you back to do more training.
Might of well give the disabled or old men guns to tanks then 😂
We just one one camp for actively fit, and one camp for people who can cover two people while wearing heavy armor.
How will the deal with the massive amount of anti government people?
@@chrischandler889 pretty easy. You destroy all entertainment/public order buildings. Then you move your army out, wait for them to revolt then you come in with an extermination order.
I’d rather go to prison than serve under an administration that surrenders to terrorists and leaves Americans to die in enemy territory- and for no discernible reason.

@@JohnDoe-xf4mzlike what happened to the American people rebelling against the corrupt government
@@chosenone8456 Three-letter agencies infiltrated them all. The tyrants want to hold on to power.
And I'd rather die than serve or go to prison.
As someone who served in the military voluntarily, I stand firmly opposed to the Draft and the SSS. Also, if we ever have to use the SSS, we’ve already lost.
Then dont be surprised if the US Government changes the age gap or even goes far enough to void veteran status
Countries don’t go to war, governments do. As a veteran, I say….avoid military service if possible loool.

This country is going to be in for a rude shock when they realize none of the younger generation will be willing to die for a country that would let us die on the streets for medical bills
They already know that. That is why there has been zero talk about conscription since 9/11 as they know it would fail.
@@janefelix3821 there is a ton of talk about conscription related to China/Taiwan lately…
Do you even watch the news? Maybe cause you’re a woman you don’t really have to keep up with it since less impactful
let's just see what happens, gen z is so fragile and spinless i doubt they could even try to stand up to themselves ,as if that would change anything, if they won't do it voluntarily, they'll be made to do it anyway most likely, it's rather foolish to believe that the government would allow the downfall of our country over forced military service don't you think?
freedom of choice only exists until the government mandates something.
You blame the country for the problems of the government. This is why I say we need a new government. One that operates only on the constitution and leave out their opinions.
After how they did us during covid they might want to rethink starting wars
I am not fighting for these tyrants and their ambitions.
yes.
war is just a big human sacrifice
That's how I feel
You’ll have it if it happens. Everyone signs up at 18 in America. 😊
Oi vey! You have to fight for us small hats!
@@dpizzo8558 It's all a game, not worth fighting for the glory of man, especially wicked men.
Wouldn't do it even if they drafted me.
I'd rather be in jail with a clean conscience than fighting a war to don't agree of, risking my life for nothing.
True, but I hope they wouldn't bring back the GULAG work-to-death camps back in that case. During WW2, the Soviet Red Army simply shot Russians who didn't want to fight for Communism. I view those who escaped, fought back or even those who were shot as being far more courageous and honorable than those so-called "victors" of the Red Army.
@@stormrider1375 that's why we must abolish the draft now, every election we hear what they'll do for women blacks hispanics lgbt etc, what will they do for men? abolish the draft
@@stormrider1375what is wrong with you
@@stormrider1375 good thing we arent the russians… why bring this up
If a war was truly meaningful, such as defense against an existential threat, they wouldn’t need a draft.
Keep in mind those aren't my personal opinions. Even today you find veterans who fought in wars they didn't believe in just in the hopes they could have a better life afterwards. Learn some skills and discipline have college and health insurance. If they died it would still be better than wandering through life aimlessly, in their eyes.
Yet even with that you can see the troop count for Iraq and Afghanistan wasn't nearly as concentrated as other wars.
Yea they would.
Our obesity rates are really a national security issue. About half of our population is either too sick or overweight to fight and you can count on Gen Z to find anyway possible to get out of service which I wouldn't blame them for unless World War III was breaking out.
“UhM, EXcuSe Me SiR, BuT I iDenTiFy aS a WatEr botTLe, aNd onLy WomEn AnD MeN cAn EnliSt. RACiSt!1!1!”
I am one of those. I'm 26, 320lbs, and considered exempt from service due to my obesity. I had never considered the long-term effects of this, but surely it will have an impact if a major war does happen involving my country. I just hope others can protect me.
I think they even brought down the amount of things you need to do for basic training because of this
@@coffee5981 nah they'll stick you in a desk job if it really gets bad lol
@@redneckshaman3099 out of no where😭
Considering only 27 percent of current high school graduates are eligible and fit to serve in the armed forces, worrying about the draft is the least of our country's problems.
Edit: Obesity and criminal records are the top two reasons.
Most aren't becuase of weight which could be fixed in 2 months
They would just lower the requirements
Force illegals! 10 year requirement guarantees citizenship.
STOP WORRYING AND LEARN HOW TO LOVE THE BOMB
I have so many medical conditions the odds are low for me
I wouldn't mind being drafted if we had at wife at home who ain't for the streets, A GI bill that can get you a home and business like the good ol days, and some decent VA healthcare. I'm not dying for a country that doesn't care for it's people.
Word.
Lots of spouses cheat while the other half is gone. Lots of deployed soldiers cheat while deployed. If you/yours aren't in that category then good for you but using something was arbitrary as that as grounds to not volunteer for service is as disingenuous and laughable as wanting "a GI Bill that can get you a home and a business". The GI Bill pays for school so it's on you too pick something better than underwater basket weaving or gender studies. You can also take classes while on active duty but if course your chosen job may not give you the most time for it so choose wisely. Also, if you die you won't need VA healthcare.
If you don't want to volunteer it's fine but use better arguments than these or just be honest and say "it's not my thing".
@@politicallyinsensitive4200 I also don't think a draft is great since the benefits aren't so good, and morally it's likely to just be an excuse to pump money into a select few corporations. The govt constantly covering up war atrocities doesn't help in the modern sense for the USA either. The nation does have alot of education puffery about doing the right thing after all. But always fails to live up to it.
@@politicallyinsensitive4200 I agree with you on the whole cheating thing, that is laughable, but tons of criminals are given free housing (section 8) why shouldn’t veterans receive those same benefits?
You’re not dying for a country that doesn’t care about you? They don’t. How many homeless veterans are there? After the Vietnam war they were treated like garbage. John Stewart had a fight for the veterans. I live next to a veteran of the Vietnam war and he had no taxes on his home to pay they didn’t help him with his mortgage payment which was astronomical.
When they force us into this we must garner the courage to say "No" or ask yourself really "Do I want to give my life for the entertainment of rich criminals"
This ONLY ends in nuclear war if it continues. It's that simple

I feel like this focus on conventional forces and ability to rearm/draft does not account for curveballs like possible sneak attacks using EMPs, biological agents (which are likely to be used by China in all out war), cyber warfare, and probably lots of other nation-disabling weapons & tactics not considered.
Unless we are invaded (which will never happen, and this channel did a video explaining why), you will never get me to go fight in a war. We've already lost thousands of soldiers in POINTLESS wars overseas. And anyway, our current military, with its overblown budget, is perfectly capable of defending this country from invasion. And even then, even if it couldnt, we have allies that would send troops and equipment. THAT would happen long before any draft.
why do you think there destroying California because thats where they are gonna let china land
I’ve thought for years that dismantling our manufacturing capabilities in the name of “profit” was dumb. It is a national security issue but American companies are glad to sell IP and technologies for a quick buck at the expense of national security. This should have been and should be criminal. Allowing so much manufacturing to leave was also a mistake and again for a quick buck and should have been and be criminal. Also, when a huge war does start the children of the rich should be the first sent to the front lines since they usually try to use money and creativity to stay out when other families don’t get to pay their way out and create excuses to avoid a draft.
But muh capitalism and free market
Like how Chinese manufacturers like Huawei have technology in and or around all ICBM sites or communication towers or power distribution systems related to them. Makes a guy wonder...
just like the tarot card and many other empires this is the tarot. Fast quickened gains over long term renewables and development. False success that eventually leads to a terrible Fall happened in 1930s caused rome sparta and assyria to fall as empires also Babylon according to some records
That's the expense of a free market and a for profit system in most companies because that's how they grow and get rich
I think 3 years of military service should be mandatory for anyone, man or woman, who wants to be a citizen of this country, and enjoy all of the rights afforded to American citizens.
I hate how when you turn 18 as a man, you practically have to sign up to die if there's a war. Someone like me, who's into the arts and music, would be a terrible soldier, and I would be sent off for war because I'm healthy and I have great vision, even though I'm weak and have no stamina.

Already served so I'm not eligible. That being said, if we get attacked I'm not opposed to trying to enlist (although I'm in my late 30s). For all those that are young, if it ever looks like we will draft, go ahead and enlist and have some say of which branch and what job you'll get instead of being forced for infantry.
Im airborne infantry right now. Love it
yeah I'd enlist in the air force immediately instead of waiting to be drafted and become canon fodder
Same if a war breaks out when I’m old enough I’m enlisting in the air force asap
In other words, they threaten people to go to the army by hook or by crook. 🤦♂️🙄👎
Feels like the beginning of 2020 but this time the potential enemies actually stand a chance
Never underestimate your enemies, hubris leads to disaster. Better to overestimate your enemy and defeat them with overwhelming force.
Yeah I think that most people have seen DragonBall, or let alone any anime where they fight and the villain looses because they underestimated the hero.
Exactly! So we enlist all the TLC My 600 Pound Life Celebs, dress them in dope Spartan/Roman Fighting Gear and send them out first. The Chinese will think they are Slow Shuffling Giants and will retreat exposing themselves!
you aint wrong but trust me its good for the troops morale when they underestimate the enemy
@@iron4517 It's good for the enemy's morale because that means they probably inflicted high amounts of casualties.
Exactly right!!
I think if the safety of our country, not its interests(gas, oil, etc) in other countries, but if the threat of an invasion was high, most Americans would join. But if our leaders wanted to invade another country then its likely that lotta Americans wouldn't want to join cuz at this point many of us grew up with the War in Afghanistan much of our lives and we're very much more informed about global issues that we don't wanna rush into another Afghanistan/Vietnam type of war. If our leaders want oil and gas but uses the guise of the safety of the country/democracy then let them fight for it. But if the threat of an invasion of our country was high then many Americans would be willing to fight
We are a Republic
Good point, I think many people would join if it was a true cause. No one wants to be drafted for someone else's profit margins.
Our country want for oil n gas is the reason why we dominate... we kno every countries pressure point.
Yeah, many Americans would be willing to fight...against other Americans. See, there's a reason why ancient Israel made a big deal out of ensuring that property was passed down generationally. Because doing so meant that every citizen would have a vested interest in protecting their land. Now, how many Americans own land, vs. how many just rent? More importantly, how easy is it to access purchasing land, without an innumerable amount of laws, rules, and regulations being hung over your head? Lastly, how many of them have fulfilling work, and aren't just working because they are debt slaves?
Do you, uh, see a problem? Naw, I'm sure the massive drops in employees, the rising suicide, crime, mass shooting statistics, loss of trust in media, scientific, and academic institutions doesn't mean ANYTHING.
@@TarsonTalon only Americans willing to fight other Americans are right wing nut jobs 🙄 lol. They're the ones calling for civil war against the Left. Other than that, majority of Americans don't want war. And the whole land ownership u just mentioned, most Americans are free to move to different states, and if they plan to live in that State they can easily register in that state so in the event of an invasion or whatever majority of Americans will be willing to fight for their country. Lotta vets who fought for USA 🇺🇸 never had land or private properties and they still don't hence lotta homeless veterans in the country. N having private properties does not always ensure loyalty as most private property owners will be more likely to want peace with enemies rather than lose their properties in war with the enemies. Look at WWI onwards, most enlisted people were of poorer class while rich people were more likely to get deferments from joining the military. Don't throw your fellow Americans under the bus bcuz of all the "culture war" going on. The ones u gotta look for are the ones so eagerly saying they're the true patriots cuz they're more invested in the "culture war" than others.
You know the world has gone insane when RUclips treats conscription in the tone of an action movie.
What about state defense forces? In south carolina, if I'm not mistaken you can be drafted into the south carolina state guard if we don't have enough folks to guard the armories. We primarily do search and rescue and natural disaster relief currently but can be armed under order of the governor. Which, when I took the oath to defend the constitution of the United States and the state of South Carolina, I meant it with every fiber of my being, no matter what my orders may be.
I don't remember being asked specifically to register for a draft system.
I had been told in school that it was possible, and I did interact with many recruiters and bases, but I don't remember being asked to register for a draft.
As an ex-intelligence officer, I'd volunteer in a heartbeat if they could use my expertise. As a 67 year old, I've kept myself in shape and could easily pass Basic Training and OCS physical requirements.
Well you may be, the way things are going. I think this channel deeply underestimated our advisaries and there abilities.
Never been in the military, but I made a 98% on my picat and have stayed up to date with ocs requirements, knowledge, and etc. Also basic army survival handbook. I've tried to apply things, but I'm stuck teaching life science in a middle school. I'd really like to become an officer, but there are three strikes keeping me back.
Thank you for your service Sir.
Being drafted in the 40’s is different from now. Who in their right mind would want to go and die for these corrupt government’s that have had every chance to stop this madness
@@brwils3378 not as much as you think. Russia fighting at full boar has been unable to defeat a 3rd world country, running on NATO’s table scraps. A full mobilization of the US military, let alone NATO’s, would crush Russia. China though??? Who knows. I suspect they aren’t as much of a paper tiger as Russia.
I could imagine all the gen z temper tantrums if drafting was reinstated
WW3 would most likely be nuclear and with millions or billions dead and the collapse of society being drafted would be extremely hard to do if at all.
It wont be nuclear because no country wants to completely destroy the world....
@@Ledbottom86 true but all it takes is a few people or one to order a nuclear launch and everything we know will no longer exist
Completely agree.
A well placed and well timed EMP is all it would take to bring down the US. We are too dependent on our electronics and most people in this country can not do as much as reach down and touch their toes.
its not going to start nuclear though, it will be a ground/air/sea battle and then when one side is close to losing thats when the nukes will fly
In WW2 they where drafting people up to 42 years old. At that was in the US in WW1 my great grandfather was drafted into the army at age 29. Soooo ya I think it’s possible
I have no problem going to fight but I have an issue being demanded to give my life for something that I might or might not believe in or want to do. The whole life, liberty and pursuit of happiness thing is completely contrary to the draft. I guess that's the US's biggest issue is we have so many freedoms that to force anything is directly against ours base laws set to protect us. It's a double edged sword but I feel like the government should still respect that and more and more it seems like they don't. Idk I'm just a guy thinking.
Liberty requires sacrifice of blood. It is your American duty to serve your country in the time of need. The draft is not against American values at all.
In the military it’s a job you do what you’re told and no one really cares how you “feel” about why you’re there. You’re there to do a job.
However no one has a right to benefit off the the sacrifice of others..all MUST PULL THEIR OWN WEIGHT!
The thing about the Draft is that is more of a last resort kind of deal.
They'd much prefer volunteers, as they historically perform better, are more reliable, and are not heckled by other servicemen for their classification of "draftee" or "Volunteer".
However, if we're faced with a threat beyond our current strength, or anticipate a long, drawn out war of attrition, a draft is necessary.
All the freedoms you enjoy are put at risk if the army is widdled down and nothing is done to bulster it quickly.
Besides, we rebelled against an Empire over taxes, but we still pay those.
Sometimes being a member of something means having to do things for it you don't like.
@@iliadnetfear2586 You just explained the whole premise of a draft. Yeah, that's a pretty baseline idea that this video literally talked about. That has nothing to do with my point. My point wasn't arguing if the draft may be necessary, my argument was forcing us to fight is at its core un-American. I think we all understand that if America disappears or goes under new control so goes are rights, basic concept, new parents new rules. My angle is purely from a legal perspective. Pointing out that our unalienable rights aren't unalienable, only so at the allowance of the establishment. Just like Covid when they took are freedom to travel, social media can take our freedom of speech or press, like a guy smoking weed in the wrong state can get his liberty taken, the government can take our "unalienable right" to life. There's just some mental gymnastics that is involved in justifying government overreach that let you know that those rights aren't actually rights but privileges that apon a governmental decision can be taken without apprehension. I'm from a swing state and I have friends from both sides, I just see how one will get the power and try to punish the other and with the ability to bypass or misrepresent those rights the government has the ability to do whatever they want. Be it limit guns or abortion, there's tons of examples that I can keep going on.
Why should we fight? The ones making the decisions should be the ones fighting each other
Why should you enjoy the freedoms that so many others have sacrificed for?
Instead of the draft, in 1975 while 17 years old and seniors in high school my buddy and I joined the US Navy in the cache program. We went to boot camp in San Diego a month after graduation. He struck for submarine service, and I went to surface ships. He stayed in for twenty years on nuclear subs, but I chose to complete my initial service and head back home to farm with my dad. Best years of my life were serving my country.
I'd refuse to go.

The draft should be selected by blood type. AB blood type is the most difficult to supply in the field and on ships. Thus conscription AB blood types 1st would make the "walking blood bank" easier to maintain plasma and supplied blood banks for combat medical units.
No. AB+ means that you can accept all blood. O- is the 1% blood type.
So you want to have people u just steal blood from people 24/7? What about people like me who don’t even know our blood type ?
The draft should be selected by only people who volunteer.
@I hate Turkey It not being a draft is the point because the draft is slavery which is immoral.
Global conflict isn't an excuse to take away freedom. People own themselves and their time not the state.
AB + universal receiver, O - universal doner
The US hasn’t seen volunteers this low since Vietnam. I don’t doubt the US would initiate a draft if things were to escalate, many veterans are leaving the military without any intention of reenlist due to how the government is acting with woke politics.

I would Academies set up which will act like High schools. If you can't afford to go to a private high school, you go to a academy at the age of 15. Which will give you both academic & occupational training but all so military training. Once the student has finished his / her time at the academy at the age of around 18, they will automatically be enrolled in to a 2 year national service program as active military members.
Well that won't be a very long war!!
Smaller nations need populations at least minimally trained in territorial defence, logistics, and non combat support roles, just to be able to front up an adequate resistance to a larger invader. But conscripts (people forced into service) should never be used for live combat theatres as their morale is far too fragile.
The goal should be to train recruits to a point they have the required attitude,
fitness and training where they could be mobilised quickly if the nation’s territory was invaded. Along with this would be territorial defence and logistics forces, made of local paid part time volunteers.
While a professional volunteer military remains still the best choice for a well trained force with high morale, a general population trained to be capable of contributing to a war that they can then volunteer for when needed is a valuable state asset. As is a network of local based well trained territorial defence and logistics forces that compliment and work alongside the professional military servicemen/women, freeing them from non-combat roles.

The draft definitely doesn’t show a free country
That's because it's not
Thank you for this informative video. I always wondered how wartime veterans who are now civiiians would be considered if this was to ever happen in 21st century America. According to this, we would be 4A due to being prior service, correct? Please correct me if I'm wrong people. (11 years USA, 2 OIF, 1 OEF)
Tbh if there was a draft I’d quickly be disqualified. I already have extreme PTSD but on top of that I’m disabled, on life long medications, have self harm scars, have psychiatric disabilities from an overdose, need a service dog and I’m not physically fit enough anymore. I feel bad for people who aren’t lucky enough to be ineligible
since you're useless, you can be part of the first wave
@@hinkhall5291 Very true and a good point
The edit was just adding a word
You'd be good cannon fodder
@@craigweniton69 I like dark humor but this is not a good place for it. Tbh you sound insensitive and cruel what you say that here.
And? If it gets desperate they will conscript everyone, by that I mean EVERYONE.
Aside from obesity being a issue if draft were to come back I think even if it was with Russia or China there would be alot of resistance to it so I think bringing draft back will have alot of challenges and I just named 2 of the many
Bring it back? It currently exist I think you mean if a draft is activated.
Many than less will be on that 😂 nah try me fools!
Very true. If folks think the protests and civil disobedience during the Vietnam War was terrible, reinstating the draft in America would probably help cause the Civil War 2.0. Actually, civil wars would very likely emerge around the world. Even the Russians and Chinese would likely turn against their governments in large numbers.
@@kwaleanderson816 there would be alot of chaos if the draft is activated for anything that's not defense of the homeland.
I think if they ever try to bring the draft back, we will likely just overthrow the US government and start over.
At 11:35 they FINALLY get to the answer of "Could You be Drafted to Fight in World War 3?"
Thanks
Thank you
i'd rather take my tent and supplies into the country side than be drafted into a war.
If they find you it’s over, because you still have to serve
In Austria where I currently recide I should be fine since I'm exempt from military servicem.
But I'm also a British citizin, yet never permanently lived there. So this is the only side where I theoretically could be drafted.
bei uns wirst auch nicht gedrafted weil wir haben nichts. unser Militär ist symbolisch aber auf keinen fall irgendwie relevant oder verteidigungsfähig. und selbst wenn dann verweigert man halt was vermutlich sehr viele machen werden weil wenige, aus meiner Sicht, so selbstlos und gleichzeitig dumm sind um im Ernstfall für Österreich zu kämpfen.
Speaking as a Regular in the US Army mos 11-Bravo Viet Nam era, that's Infantry Rifleman for you civilian types, WWIII is going to be about nukes and smart bombs from missiles and aircraft, not ground warfare.
I totally agree. I feel like it will matter more on technology, not troops numbers.
You'd be surprised on the number of scenarios we had in play while I served, I've been out 15 years, positive the scenarios haven't changed much since today's worst threats were expected then.
no its going to be aircraft and naval warfare. Nukes will be the last thing to fly since they'll be launched by whoever is losing and about to be overrun.
Yeah, weight wouldn’t count you out of a draft. Too many tattoos wouldn’t count you out. Certain health issues would not count you out. Certain past criminal charges would no longer count you out. Certain judges would be given powers to give first time offenders ultimatums, either jail or army. A lot of them would probably choose army. During a draft, there’s no way you’d be able to dodge it today.
But what about minimal training requirements for drafted men and potential expulsion if you're deemed unfit for combat?
Everything you mentioned already exists. And there are requirements for both voluntary as well as drafted personnel. Btw, "unfit for combat" is not the only reason one can be discharged. There are a number of reasons. For example: An Honorable, General, Other than Honorable, A Bad Conduct Discharge and a Dishonorable Discharge. Note: The latter may result in difficulty with regard to the civilian workforce should one seek employment.
Considering the US Government and elites already hate me, no. I’d rather turn insurgent than be drafted.
That's my plan too...
I'm so glad I aged out of Selective Service last year
?!.
Puszy
Little did he know a year later
bro😭😭😭i’m 21 i might get drafted bro wish me luck
I have been to the war zone while in the military, once as a contractor, now I'm too old to be sent anywhere but my rocking chair.
I am 47, legally blind with out my glasses, bad back, bad knee, and really bad outdoor allergies, if I am needed to fight things have gone about as bad as they can get besides nukes being used.
Would’ve loved to serve in the US Navy, like my Father and Grandfather before me. Unfortunately Psoriais disqualified me from joining.
I'm sure the current regime would have to introduce it's version of the sippenhaft to try to enforce obedience
Well actually I wouldn't since I'm 57 and severed 20 years in the US Army from 1982-2002 so as a retired Master Sargent I suppose I could be "recalled" to serve as an instructor since I still do that as a civilian contractor for SOCOM. But since we operate with civilian contractors even during combat operations anyway unless the role was critical it really wouldn't be necessary.
Well, considering I already did my time in the US military I'm probably excused from further military service. But at the same time I'd probably be required to get and keep a job in the military industrial complex due to my STEM background.
Depends. During peacetime, no, but during wartime and depending on the conditions, state of warfare, etc. then yes. If you retired five years of your retirement date (honorable discharge), then you'd be classified as a Category I, which basically means that after going through the lottery system of civilians who haven't served, you'd get recalled. After 5 years, you're a Cat II, and hope that they don't start pulling from Cat III, which basically means any able bodied man. If it gets that bad, it means we're losing the war badly enough that it's threatening the very existence of the nation.
@@myaccount235 interesting. Ty for the new info!
A lot of Veterans will be recalled, more and more... older and older depending how desperate the War gets. Were Talking about WW3 here not another Enduring Freedom or NAM or even Korea. Nato vs the rest!
Thanks
I vaguely remember but some years ago a guy congress jokingly proposed a bill that allows women to be drafted and it got passed.
I remember it was a big story on the news and on the daily show with Trevor Noah
We want the next part of the surviving nuclear war.
Not possible. We all of us die
As a quadriplegic, I am 100% undraftable
I'm sure they'd be like you don't need arms or legs to man a drone.

1:03 of a commercial. Pretty long.
As for the draft, if I get drafted I would just do some heavy drugs so they wouldn't accept me 🤣
Nope. I already served years in the USN. I'm now 62 years old so not worried about the draft.
My dad served as a blimp and jet pilot in Weeksville, North Carolina. It was for seven years. ZP1 Squadron. He later confided his biggest regret was not staying with the USN for twenty years. I was a kid at the time. It was a wonderful life and we had he most marvelous, kind friends in the Navy. A Class act. Circa 1955, when I was born.
I don't think I'm eligible to be drafted. I want it to stay that way.
My only question is, what happens when all of the people drafted do not want to be there and all refuse.
It's very simple: the moment war is declared, conscription will be instituted and made mandatory. Every able man is with his own being obligated to defend his country in time of war, no questions asked. Drafting, or conscription, has come and gone as the situation demands it.

OK fallout 3 let's come down
I really doubt nuclear weapons will ever be used in war because just because their is a war doesn’t mean your gonna launch your nukes at least at civilians their is a possibility of Russia using tactical nukes but I doubt they will do that because of escalation war isn’t that bad compared to nukes
Stop talking
Smart weapon manufacturing relies on our ability to obtain semiconductors. 80% of the semiconductors used to build electronics in the United States come from Taiwan.
If China takes Taiwan we can’t rearm after depletion of our smart bombs and other weaponry.
Covid made the supply lines so backed up that we’re still waiting on parts ordered 2 years ago.
Domestic production of semiconductors isn’t slated to begin until 2025-26 and then these new manufacturing plants will need to go through a proofing period of 2 years prior to companies like Raytheon allowing their suppliers to begin running production units with these components.
Semiconductors are needed for Playstations not weapons.
@@theschmedaparadox1018 the guidance systems in most air to air rockets rely on parts from Taiwan my dude. We modify and assemble them in the US, but we need the actual basic part first.
This is the whole reason this manufacturing should have been here. Why would I fight for such a short sighted nation with short term, greedy leaders?
Thank You Sweetheart! You do really good voices! You are probably the best voice actress ever! I can hear your beautiful voice behind the vocalization. You are so talented!
I never applied for the selective service within 30 days. I feel like most people don’t either. I think it automatically happens though once you try to vote
They already know everything about you
Might wanna delete this lol

@@AlexHernandez-ee5hd men need to stand up for themselves for once and abolish the draft
Really, the way modern war works, most draftees would most likely be for cannon fodder, especially with a military on the size of the US.
Sounds like a perfect way to get rid of your political opponents, draft them and then put them in the position to not come back home.
Modern war won't send ground troops en masse. I imagine a draft would more likely involve professionals in key fields rather than an 18-year-old kid out of High school.
@@ajspice It will involve both. One as cannon fodder and the other as skilled intelligence gatherers
@@user-qf5kl6cv2y Based on that statement you have obviously never been to combat. So you basically think it's guys getting shot at and nerds in a war room? Lol! There's a lot more to it than that.
Went through JROTC through high-school just to find out I'm disqualified from any US Services bc I have Tourettes. I wanted to be a pilot on the Air Force so I can understand but even anything else. Ridiculous. I had to be off medicine for a year before even being considered.
Mad unfortunate
My friend got in with tourettes. His got worse after service and was discharged honorably as opposed to medical reasons.
Can't see why randomly twitching so badly you fling a tool across the room when repairing a billion dollar part, or dropping a casualty because your whole body spasms, or speaking only in swearing (ok that one would be fine) would be a hindrance in the military.
@@BenCDBrown tourrettes has a wide range of severity from say 1 to 10 1 being fully functional with only minor ticks almost no one would notice to 10 being unable to function at all socially.
@@Bradgilliswhammyman but all levels are exacerbated by stress. You are not going to have a single non stressful day in the military.
I don’t turn up for work. What makes you think I’ll turn up for war?
So, if a fellow for one reason or another managed to make it to his 26th birthday without ever registering, would he get off scot free, or would he still have to wait through some long statute of limitations before he would be untouchable?
In reality, you won't be punished for not signing up. You can count on both hands the number of people ever imprisoned for failure to apply. The only punishment you'll face is that you will never be able to hold a government job, and you will never be able to get student loans.
