Are we heading for a military draft? The Trump administration proposed adding an automatic draft registration into the upcoming Defense bill. This would mean that all American men between the ages of 18 and 26 would be automatically registered for the draft. It does not mean that they would be drafted. Yet. The Biden administration tried to do this in its 2024 Defense bill but that provision was removed before the bill was passed. The Trump administration is just picking up where Democrats left off because war is bipartisan. The uniparty is aligned on sending your (not their) sons to war. President Trump hinted at this in his recent post, “our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest.” Key phrase: Loading up. This isn’t just talk. The pieces are already falling into place. Automatic registration is already active in several states. Lawmakers are dressing this up as a cost saver by cutting outreach. Really? We’ve spent $42 billion on Israel’s war with Iran. Are we supposed to believe they’re concerned about spending money on marketing materials? I guess they’re desperate because on top of this, the U.S. Army just bumped the enlistment age from 34 to 42. You don’t expand eligibility, automate registration, and flood the headlines unless you’re getting ready for something. At least that’s how we see it.
