Forced Conscription (Draft) Returning in the US?
« on: June 17, 2024, 06:33:25 AM »

A new plan from House lawmakers would automatically register men for a potential military draft when they hit age 18, avoiding potential legal consequences connected to failing to file the paperwork at the proper time.

That is the headline in many places, yet I saw this on Fox: The selective service is already mandatory for male U.S. citizens aged 18 to 24

So I was a bit confused, this looks like weasely words to suggest a forced draft is coming down the tracks?

GPT told me this when I posted the Fox article in:

----------------------------

Potential Forced Draft

The measure itself does not indicate an imminent forced draft. The selective service system has been in place for decades, serving as a contingency in case a draft is needed, although it has not been invoked in over 50 years. The automatic registration is intended to ensure compliance and fairness without actively initiating a draft.

Selective Service

Selective service is a system in the United States that requires male citizens and immigrants aged 18 to 26 to register for potential conscription into the military. While registering does not mean these individuals will be drafted, it ensures that a pool of potential draftees is available if the need arises. Failure to register can lead to legal penalties and restrictions on access to federal benefits such as student loans and government jobs.

-----------------------------

I never knew folks in the US had to register for potential conscription.

According to Twitter, foreigners (immigrants) are exempt. This looks to me like Uncle Sam is lining up the cannon fodder for a war? Be it Russia, Gaza, Taiwan, or wherever.

If they exclude all the immigrants, that sounds rather like the Kalergi Plan or the Great Replacement by the back door? Kill off the indigenous people in a war and fill the country up with immigrants. Some say that is the plan for Ukraine.

This looks like the same thing by another means that Fishy Rishy announced here recently with his National Service idea.

Yeah this has been around forever...I remember it was a big deal when I hit 18 to fill out the paperwork.

Over the past few years there has been some discussion about an avenue for citizenship for illegals if they serve in the military...also applying this to the DACA group under 18.  My belief is if we were to a likely path to a shooting war, this idea would be implemented quickly and we would get a lot illegals to join. If they, and their immediate family became citizens at least some of them would do it just for that benefit.    Hard line republicans would probably agree to it given the circumstance.

The US has been in shooting wars since 9-11

The current law is you must have a U.S. Permanent Resident Card
(Green Card) to join the US military.

Yeah we are definitely militarily involved all the time...but not with close to peer nations.  We probably droned defenseless people today.   
If we were in a significant war where we were landing 100's of thousands of soldiers on the ground against a strong nation that is when we may be in a position where we might start an illegal alien program for citizenship.

I, like all the men of my generation and those after, had to register with the "Selective Service" within 30 days of my 18th birthday.  You go down to the post office, fill out a card, and mail it in, which you typically do, right from the post office.  Convenient, eh?

Anyway, that is that and you never hear about it again unless you failed to register, which can  :censored:  up certain areas of your life (financial aid for uni being one), or if there is an actual draft. 

No draft in nearly 40 years since I registered. /shrugs

Automatic registration would have been easier ofc.

The military is having recruitment problems atm because, like everything else, they have been infected with the "Trans-Homo-Faggot-DEI" nonsense.  This is especially distasteful to Southern Whites, who disproportionately enlist.

We are done with those types of wars. The entire American people would have to totally believe
in the war for us to do something that big. North America is impossible to invade and the American
people are done with major invasions for dubious reasons.

Registrant processing was suspended in 1976, then they started up registering for the selective
service again in 1980. May 25 1980 I graduated from high school in Oregon, Mount St. Helens
blew up that day as well.

NOTE: They have found no evidence that I had anything to do with the volcano going off.

I do not know how accurate these reports are. I can't find similar reports from other sources.
