in a distant land. You should have no hope of your lineage continuing.

This may be the most dystopian thing I've seen all year.

I disagree, eventually this country will collapse like all others in history. Before the collapse I’m sure some other super power will go to war with the USA and at that point is when a draft could occur in a last gasp effort to save the rotting corpse of the nation.

The ad seems straightforward and fairly innocuous. The draft has been around for a while. Seems perfectly predictable that some people may think that their child is an exception for some reason when they are not. Besides, who follows the Selective Service on Twitter anyway? Posting this there seems to be the biggest headscratcher about it.

I waiver on this issue. Nothing is more dangerous to liberty than forced conscription, but you better believe folks would be less likely to support America policing the world if their kids were going to be drafted and sent abroad. Neocon butt cheeks would immediately pucker and deferment letters for the children of America's biggest warmongers would soon be written.

Let’s hope there is never a reason to activate the draft, but of the situation is that dire, all hands on deck. Freedom is not free, just taken for granted the US. What a shame..

The hell there won’t if Leftists control the country for another decade. You think a political movement that tells you what kind of car you can or can’t drive, what size soda you can drink, or that you have no say in whether your child has sexual mutilation surgery is going to draw the line at compulsory military service???

They’ll just call it an “unplanned career move” and start rounding up able bodied males.

I will have my boy declare himself a woman if another draft is instituted.

You think if the US is invaded, manpower would be an issue? Lol

Its a paid promotion, so it shows up on the twitter feed as an advertisement.

You don't think its unnerving that at a time when we are looking at a possible war in Europe our government is sending out reminders that they can take our sons at any time to go fight in a war that no one wants anything to do with?

And they're not even saying "all males must sign up for Selective Service at the age of 18." They want you to know that they can take your only son away from you at anytime that pleases them.

Unless, of course, that son comes from a family with political connections and/or significant wealth.

I agree. We are so far ahead of everyone else militarily we wouldn't need one and even if we do go to war with China there will be no shortage of volunteers. It's not the 60s Vietnam era anymore.

Well no shite.

If there is ever another draft it will be in this country's future, not its history.
