everyone's freaking out will there be another draft the short answer is no Google searches for conscription and 2020 draft spike every time international tensions are high like between the u.s. and Iran our missiles are big powerful accurate lethal and fast the Selective Service the government agency that manages information about Americans eligible for any future drafts even had its website crash from an influx of people visiting it people have reported receiving fake text messages from the US Army saying that they've been selected for a military draft World War three memes also trend across Twitter tic toc and Instagram the truth is there hasn't been an active draft in the United States since 1973 and there likely won't be another one anytime soon it would require action from both Congress and the President to reinstitute the draft in the United States compulsory military service also known as conscription or the draft was abolished near the end of the Vietnam War the decision came after years of anti-war and anti-draft movements in the late 1960s and early 70s young men burned their draft cards in protest and tens of thousands fled the country to avoid being conscripted today all military service in the u.s. is voluntary however nearly all 18 to 25 year old men living in the US are required by law to register with a Selective Service System this applies whether you're documented or undocumented though there are exceptions for ministers transgender men certain elected officials veterans and those who have had a family member who died or was missing in action while serving in the US military high school students can postpone their induction until they graduate or reach age 20 and college students can postpone theirs until the end of the semester or academic year the data base is there to maintain a pool of potentially eligible individuals to be drafted if and only if conscription were to be reinstated and refusing to register has its consequences it makes you ineligible for federal student aid federal job training or a federal job you could also face a fine of up to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and or up to five years in jail soon women may be required to register for the Selective Service System - in March 2019 a federal judge ruled that exempting women from having to register violates the Constitution the decision defies a 1981 Supreme Court decision to uphold a male-only Selective Service System but what does it actually take for a draft to be reinstated and in what situation what this even be necessary Congress would have to pass legislation calling for a draft and then have it signed by the President and according to the US government's official website this would only happen in the case of a quote national emergency the sad irony of all this fear is that in any situation where the u.s. and Iran do go to war it's Maranon males who...
