They are going to need bodies for the grinder very soon. No one wants to die for a dictator so they will force them.

So you think Americans will rise up in revolt if there's a draft or will it be business as usual?

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Last draft we had led to wide scale protests and lots of real angry folks. No reason to think a future one would be different. Can't imagine they'd do a draft at this point though. U.S. is more of a 'Missile the shit out of them' military then a '100,000 soldier landing on the beach' one.

If they haven't revolted yet I don't think they will then either.

They should, they should have already, but they won't.

It's illegal not to sign up for the selective service....

This makes sense.
