  • The U.S. public is not happy with The White House and Karoline Leavitt for saying that a military draft is on the table

    Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about the possibility during a briefing, sparking backlash online as many Americans say they would strongly oppose any return to conscription.

    If a draft were ever reinstated, the process would run through the Selective Service System — the federal agency that maintains a registry of eligible men ages 18–25. In the event of a national emergency, the president — currently Donald Trump — could request authorization from Congress to activate the draft.

    If approved, the Selective Service would begin a lottery system based on birth dates, calling up individuals for medical and background screening, with some qualifying for deferments or exemptions before being sent to military training.

    The U.S. hasn’t used a draft since the Vietnam War era, but the system remains in place in case it’s ever needed again.
