Can the United States have a draft? Theoretically, yes, but the possibility of that happening is slim. It would take an act of Congress signed into law by the president.
USA TODAYThe killing of top Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani in an airstrike ordered by President Donald Trump last week sparked concerns about the possibility of World War III and renewed fears about the return of the draft. So many people visited the Selective Service website on Jan. 3, it crashed. The agency attributed the traffic increase to"the spread of misinformation," in a tweet.
Enacting a draft is a congressional power, not a presidential one, Fleury explains. Should there be a need for people to serve in the military involuntarily, then that list will be used to start calling people to service.Theoretically, yes, but the possibility of that happening is slim. "In this current geopolitical situation, there's almost zero chance unless somehow we end up in a large-scale ground war directly with Russia or China," Winkie speculates. That's because he says we currently have enough people in the military to serve should there be a war with Iran.Short answer: If you're male, yes. Men between the ages of 18 and 25 are legally required to register for the selective service.
Although Fleury said he's rarely heard of people getting fined or thrown in jail for not registering, the main thing people should worry about is financial aid and future career choices. "If you have a physical or mental condition that keeps you from serving, that'll be decided after you're drafted," Winkie says."Same goes for people who are dual nationals. If they decide they don't want to draft Iranian Americans for such a conflict, they'll determine that after they draft you."
