What are the chances of the military draft coming back within the next 20 years?

Question

and who would be drafted 18-25 or 21-30 or 18-45 or 21-60

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

Zero.

If there is ever a war that would require drafting, it would be over before anyone drafted could have completed basic training.

Answer 2

About the same as a member of Antifa winning a kindergarten spelling contest.

Answer 3

in the USA maybe 1.5% chance 

Answer 4

In Canada, virtually nil.

We've only ever had the draft twice, at the ends of WWI, and WWII, and we have never sent conscripts to fight, unless they subsequently volunteered.

IF a draft ever happened, due to the Bill of Rights, ages could include 18-60.

Answer 5

maybe sooner if biden starts a war

Answer 6

There hasn't been a draft in the US since 1973.

It doesn't appear that there is a current need for a military conscription.

No one can predict what the future holds. If there are wars in the future, etc. There is currently a standby Selective Registration for male US residents, 18 years old and older.

Answer 7

Zero

There would have to be a world war and then it passes through senate. They went through Iraq and Afghanistan and didn’t need anyone as there was enough volunteers. 

Answer 8

Right now only 1 person out of 5 is fit for military duty.   If we need more than volunteers we will have to either lower the standards OR start a draft.   Personally I think we should have a draft.  Serving your country for 2-4 years is not going to kill you......usually.
