Military expert confirms first US citizens who will be drafted if World War 3 breaks out! – Story Of The Day!

As global instability dominates international headlines and the United States adopts an increasingly assertive posture on the world stage, a somber question from the mid-twentieth century has resurfaced in the American consciousness: who would be called to serve if a major conflict necessitated the reinstatement of the draft? While the United States has maintained an all-volunteer force for over half a century, the legal and administrative infrastructure of the Selective Service System remains a dormant but fully functional engine, ready to be ignited by an act of Congress and a presidential signature.

To understand the stakes of a modern draft, one must look at the historical precedent. During the Vietnam War, between 1964 and 1973, approximately 1.8 million men were conscripted into service. The human cost was staggering, with 17,671 draftees losing their lives in combat. This history serves as a haunting backdrop for contemporary discussions, emphasizing that the blood shed by draftees is no different from that of volunteers. Although the last induction orders were issued on June 30, 1973, the requirement for young men to register with the government has never truly gone away.

Under current federal law, nearly all male U.S. citizens and male immigrants—regardless of their legal status—are mandated to register with the Selective Service within a thirty-day window of their eighteenth birthday. While the system allows for late registration until a man turns twenty-six, the consequences of non-compliance are severe. Failing to register is a felony punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and five years in federal prison. Beyond these legal penalties, a failure to register can result in a lifetime of bureaucratic hurdles, including being barred from federal student aid, government-sponsored job training, and many public-sector careers. For immigrants, it can lead to a five-year delay in citizenship proceedings. This registration serves as the master list from which a future draft would be drawn.
