I highly suggest everyone get the idea of a draft out of their heads. The military of today is not quipped to do that, logistically or operationally. It would take months to even start to induct draftees again, and there is nowhere to train them, no one to train them, and no place to put them once they graduate.
If anyone is surprised that the US Military is fishing for recruits online today, well, you are not paying attention. Speaking personally, as a retired NCO, I'm not sure I'd want to be supervising people being induced into signing up from the permanently online segment of Gen Z. Such people are incapable of being away from their phone for more than 5 minutes, and the idea of operational security is completely foreign to them.
It's the chickens coming home to roost. For decades, "our" ruling class has left America to rot to such a grave extent that it can't even produce people mentally and physically healthy enough to fight wars. It's neoliberalism eating its own tail.
Trying to coerce people to enlist is not a draft.

Don't worry, though, I'm sure that an offer of American citizenship will induce plenty of foreign fighters to come sign up!
Because I'm sure that's where this is leading...
So you’re saying that service guarantees citizenship? Tell me more.
