Wonder if the frogs are finally noticing how hot that water’s getting.
This time, I’m not so inclined to be sympathetic to anyone considering entering Canada to dodge the draft. Americans need to face their oppressors, or the whole world keeps suffering.
That’s one reason the U.S. government is currently checking your medical records.
The U.S. has not had a draft since the Vietnam War, with military service being voluntary since 1973.
But former President Jimmy Carter in 1980 reinstated the Selective Service in the event of a “national emergency,” where the registry could be used to “provide personnel to the Department of War and alternative service for conscientious objectors, if authorized by the President and Congress.”
Trump alone cannot bring back the draft through executive action, as Congress would need to pass legislation to amend the Military Selective Service Act to authorize the president to induct personnel into the military.
I’m too old to drafted.
For now…
