After reading many many comments regarding this issue, I believe it would be a big mistake on the part of the US government. The majority of people have already stated that they would rather fight the US officials before they would ever go to war for them.

[joesmo]

Hope about making it law that politicians who push their people into war must be at the front lines of the war during the entire conflict?

[tylere.]

In the era of nukes, drones, and robots, does anyone think getting drafted is a prideful thing? All I see is a ticket to imminent death. Reality isn't a video game, you don't respawn.

[gusargoan]

The US draft was instituted in 1940. 1940 was the last year people in the US were actually free. If you can be drafted, you aren't free.

[udonewsreport]

A Congress that is too gutless to declare war should not be given the authority to draft. RESIST ALL TYRANTS.

[vincezuani]

Here we go again, no way I would let my son go overseas just to please our ridiculous present government!

[fukyoutube-]

Yeah you can expect alot of people either dodge the draft or refuse to fight. Lock me up I don't care i refuse to be forced to fight a war I had no say in

[jamesharris]

Put politician's family members, feminists, and all in favor of war in the frontlines.

[albertomarruffo]

I’ll hide my son before I let him go to war!! He’s my only son!!!

[angelgirldebbiejo]

We won't fight in useless wars and almost all of them are....

[apotbos]

I'm not fighting another countries war, if I'm going to die it will be to protect my family and myself.

[Rebirth]

As a proud veteran i have to say....After rigging elections and tanking our economy I wouldnt want to be the poor fool to darken my doorstep. We will not fight for a corrupt government. We will however follow the constitution for what should be done to it.

[makeyyyy]

As an American I will never fight for America

[matthewburns]

Women first this time remember, equal rights, send Emma, and her two Mother's to the front line first !!

[danielb]

Russia hasn’t done anything to me personally, I don’t make enemies where none exist.

[nothingfromnowhere]

ill join when Hunter joins, how about that?

[iamnotkyle]

For all those individuals that don’t want to fight or if drafted all you have to do is fail the asvab test. Pretend to be stupid.

[Nevertobebad]

We should never send our sons and daughters to fifth for foreign lands.

[AFox-gijl]

Women first this time. Gender equality!

[bringer-of-change]

That could change on a moments notice with the way this current administration is. They even go as far as to find ways around the law.
