Is The US Military ‘Laying The Groundwork’ To Reinstitute the Draft? The Pentagon Says No

Military Times/AP: No, the US military isn’t ‘laying the groundwork’ for a draft  

Claim: The U.S. military is planning to reinstitute the draft.  

AP’s Assessment: False. Defense officials confirm the armed forces have made no such recommendation to Congress or the president, which are the entities empowered to authorize a draft.  

The Facts: With America’s allies in Europe and the Middle East embroiled in conflicts with no end in sight, social media posts are claiming the U.S. military is considering mandating regular citizens to enlist in the armed forces. 

A number of those are sharing a headline from a Sept. 25 article from the Mises Institute, a libertarian group in Alabama that reads: “The US Military Is Laying the Groundwork to Reinstitute the Draft.”

WNU Editor: "U.S. military draft" has been trending on search engines for the past few weeks. Videos like the one above and rumors on social media are probably fueling it .... Video of Biden calling for a military draft is AI-generated, not real | Fact check (USA Today). More here .... Fighting 'Joe Biden's wars': False rumor of 'draft' spreads across social media as 'medicated' Gen Z slammed for not signing up (Meaww), and here .... Fact Check: Video of Joe Biden calling for a military draft was created with AI (Reuters).

Just one more note. 

On the eve of Russia's invasion of Ukraine the Kyiv government was telling everyone to not worry, and to stay home. Within 24 hours of Russia's invasion, the Ukraine government immediately closed its border to men of military age who can be drafted. The U.S. government will do the same. Telling everyone that everything is fine, until the very moment that the "shit hits the fan".

MAGA folk ain’t gonna fight for the Biden admin and the progressive homos (Rainbow Nazis) sure as hell ain’t havin it either, Even though they voted for this shit. The United States is royally screwed and if a military draft is needed to cash the war cheques that weekend at Bernie’s is writing, then you can take it to the bank that there will be a civil war’esque type of scenario right around the corner.
Costco tomorrow. Buying more ammo, wine and rice. Vitamins and medical supplies. Already got the gold. Time to get serious folks, look at who’s running our countries at a time like this. Good luck 🤞

RussInSoCal totally agree! The idea of a draft in America is laughable. Will never work out

Yep. Progressive liberalism has made a complete mess of American culture.

Neither the left, whose ideas of responsibility and work ethic consist of, Hurrah for me , screw you:

or conservatives who say I am not fighting for a country that calls me a deployable and basically hates me, ,....

neither are going to willingly join or accept the draft.

This is the kind of toxic , poison, cake you bake when you follow the tenets of a Godless , post modernistic system.

Our Country's social layers now have a majority who are Entrapped in a belief system that shows no gratitude for the sacrifices of those who came before us, but only a deep, seething, putrid, hate and resentment for all.

good luck with a draft.

you will see revolts at the basic training bases. that is just to start with
