It would suck…. 18-20 year old kids today are not close to being ready for combat… most would not make it through the 1st week of boot camp.

It should be universal conscription. The one and only dodge is that if you opt out you automatically vote against the incumbent Presidential party and (if they voted for the war) your Senators and Representative.

That way everyone who thinks the war is a good idea can be the cannon fodder.

If WW3 starts, someone will drop Nukes and it won’t matter.

I doubt we'll see a draft again, but I believe you are liable for service up to age 35.

ETA - maybe it's 26. The law seems confusing. Either way, WWIII and we're all screwed.

The Enrollment Act of 1863 provided that a draftee could pay a “substitute” enrollee the sum of $300 (about $5,000 in today's terms) in order to enlist in his place
Among those who took advantage:

Grover Cleveland
John D Rockefeller
JP Morgan

Can't imagine going to war for the idiots that "run" this country.

Imagine Victoria Nuland types sitting cozy at home plotting your death basically and then saying "oh whoops tehe" when it happens.

My kids aren't dying to prop up the MIC and global elite.

If the war isnt an invasion, then you're fighting for the MIC and elites that profit from your death.
