The most recent edition of the US Army War College’s academic journal includes a highly disturbing essay on what lessons the US military should take away from the continuing war in Ukraine. By far the most concerning and most relevant section for the average American citizen is a subsection entitled “Casualties, Replacements, and Reconstitutions” which, to cut right to the chase, directly states, “Large-scale combat operations troop requirements may well require a reconceptualization of the 1970s and 1980s volunteer force and a move toward partial conscription.”
An Industrial War of Attrition Would Require Vast Numbers of Troops
The context for this supposed need to reinstate conscription is the estimate that were the US to enter into a large-scale conflict, every day it would likely suffer thirty-six hundred casualties and require eight hundred replacements, again per day. The report notes that over the course of twenty years in Iraq and Afghanistan, the US suffered fifty thousand casualties, a number which would likely be reached in merely two weeks of large-scale intensive combat.
The military is already facing an enormous recruiting shortfall. Last year the army alone fell short of its goal by fifteen thousand soldiers and is on track to be short an additional twenty thousand this year. On top of that, the report notes that the Individual Ready Reserve, which is composed of former service personnel who do not actively train and drill but may be called back into active service in the event they are needed, has dropped from seven hundred thousand in 1973 to seventy-six thousand now…

Good. Women, trannies, and minorities only.

Nope.
The military doesn’t get to make that choice. And the draft is never coming back.
forced indoctrination. welcome to the modern woke military. next order of business will be to remove any and every stop that would prevent YOUR government from using YOUR military against YOU. good luck stopping THIS snowball before it’s too late. you, the American voter, did virtually nothing to stop it and worse...you STILL won’t accept it’s happening right before your willfully blinded eyes. enjoy the brave new world you let happen...while you can.
Mike Pence Says US Troops May Have to Fight If Ukraine Doesn’t Repel Russia

This uniparty scumbag GOPe congress is questionable, however if the past is any indication they just might lose next year in their recurring pattern, the senate might too. They just might ram something through at the end of Xiden’s term and of course blame it on Trump.
Will they draft illegal aliens and other legal migrants?
If they don’t there will be hell to pay.
From the President of the United States
Greeting
its about indoctrinating a behavioral standard into a generation of young Americans.
The school thingy evidently isn’t working out too well
A draft would be an utter failure today. It would not work. If uncle Sam wants cannon fodder he will have to pull a page out of putins playbook and force inmates into conscription.
Start with the 535 representatives. In the 1A group include all the media know it alls.
Mike Pence is Larry Craig holding a Bible.
No. Dems aren’t going to vote for it. GOP won’t vote for it. There won’t be a draft.
Private Pyle would be a platoon leader nowadays…
It’s one way to deal with the upcoming mass youth unemployment.
I’ve got my greetings letter! Came day after I enlisted!! Johnson was president. Told the board to stick it up where the sun don’t shine.
