Will the military draft come back? | NewsNation Prime

Former President Donald Trump quickly denied a story last week that said he suggested bringing back the military draft. But it’s a question that’s come up considering record low military recruiting in the U.S. NewsNation contributor, retired Gen. Richard Newton, says the U.S. not meeting its military recruiting goals is a national security concern.

You can't bring the issue home to a local enough level to make it the people's wars. Phones and other toys are a luxury and not an actual "window" to real reality. Now if our water companies fed us the news, with strenuous oversight and local participants, we might have an actual roll to play in defense or support of these "initiatives". We should take care of our neighbors.

Dude for years they gave you guys excuses why they can't help you. Now you see it was lies. The reason is that they never wanted to help people here to begin with.

Im not fighting some rich mans war or something that has nothing to do with me take me to jail

[@jditsme2003able]

They are trying to blame this on Trump. Smh

So you're telling me Emma and her two mom's and the power of wokeness isn't enough? Every time I see them protesting, I think they would want to answer the call to war because they're so passionate about it.

[@shellysmith1037]

finally women get some equity. Get us registered for the draft. Everyone who turns 18 automatic. It will make things more fair. We now get the opportunity to spend a year of two away in a war. Kudos

[@h20pg3d7]

I’d fight for the country, but not for the government period!

[@ImAxemGoner]

Nice try, but no one wants to be a zogbot anymore.

No Draft, the draft was one of Americas biggest mistakes. I was part of the replacement of the draft.

Recruitment problems? Look in the VA hospitals for your answer, also like others stated, let the rich fight their wars.

According to the WEF, CFR, WHO, DOJ, and LGBTQ+, this draft will only be for those aged 0-3 and 55+ The CDC is still coalating their projected numbers

[@melloangelwolf8611]

They will have to take me by force and if they do ill be a terrible soldier. Ill become a liability more than an asset in protest

Mandates and DEI gotta go

I hope not

[@koolerpure]

Idk if the draft will come back but with world tensions the way it’s been for so long and how all these countries are taking in migrants as if the government was bulking its drafting force it would seem like there is a bigger play that we are not informed on. All government has to do is say migrants need military service in order to stay in the country and suddenly the military just got cannon fodder

[@RandomNutz]

We’re gonna get pinned down, and someone’s gonna say “uwu, help daddy.” I ain’t got time for this lmao

WTF is it called military draft!!! All men have to register at 18. Nothing NEW!!!

[@TripLyday]

I ain’t gonna fight if I get drafted ong and I’m 18. If I get screwed over everyone gets screwed over.

@@rolandos64 I refuse to serve if I got drafted I will file a claim to get out of the draft. If they force me to serve I will purposely get myself discharged. I rather go to prison than kill others then die myself.

[@KakashiH25]

I agree with this. Having 2-3 years of mandatory military at 18 teaches people a lot of important skills and mentality. After being in the military for 13 years, it pushed me to be a lot better

[@MichaelGriffis]

What will happen first before a draft and that is a major raise in wages so soldiers can actually live somewhat of a lifestyle. I would bet that people working at McDonald's are making more money than those who are serving this country.
