Will the military draft come back? | NewsNation Prime

Former President Donald Trump quickly denied a story last week that said he suggested bringing back the military draft. But it’s a question that’s come up considering record low military recruiting in the U.S. NewsNation contributor, retired Gen. Richard Newton, says the U.S. not meeting its military recruiting goals is a national security concern.

Nobody wants to fight these rich people's Wars! Have them send their own damn kids

[ST-rjiu]

How about minding our business and not going to war for other countries?

[Nazgul]

who gives a damn. instead of focusing on our military we should focus on fixing our nation from the inside out. so many broken families that need help

[elephantroom]

Draft these so called leaders. If they want to start wars they need to put the gloves on and not sit on the sidelines like a water-boy.

[stranditjr]

Yeah these kids aren't naive like that. They aren't fighting for oil. I'm glad Gen Z don't blindly follow the government

[susanharrer]

Vietnam, Afghanistan... homeless Vets on the streets. "HELL NO, WE WON'T GO!"

[daniellarsen]

You know why? Because it’s horrible. You know how many military people I know that say it’s miserable and not worth it. Every single person

[signsofplay]

I thought drones and robot dogs were the future.

[jacobvelasquez]

A smart man does not pick up a gun, he picks up his writing pen and paper for peace treaty.

[Wrenn]

I didn’t raise my children to be cannon fodder in some rich man’s war.

[gsliferips.e]

Im outside the age range now but when i was draft eligible i can assure you they were gonna have to come and find me. Nobody wants to fight your wars for you.

[shanesorensen]

If you want Gen z the to join promise more benefits for disabled vets and start taking care of them and promise my generation that if we become disabled that we will get more benefits for life.

[witcheshour]

Throw me in jail. Ill fight for country but never for government

[JakeyD]

I am a 20 year old male. I would be more comfortable fighting if our leaders actually represented the every citizens interests instead of mega corporations.

[FoxKiller]

Im a U.S military vet. I say fuck your stupid draft. Send the politicians 1st!

[DemonSoul]

I’d rather die than fight for this country

[JakeBlakeCatboy]

"Happy father's day" as another man's son is sent to die in a war... Oh the irony.

[RONderluck]

People fresh out of the service can’t get jobs because there’s a stigma that all veterans have PTSD and are crazy. That’s something we need to change.

[adriandj]

Good luck enforcing a draft. The result will be millions of people protesting non stop since no one wants to die in corporate wars.

[TheRealZarp]

Who wants to fight when the political system of this country is tearing itself apart? Also, this country has shown that it cares little about veterans. People come back from war, psychologically traumatized, and physically damaged with legs and hands blown off. Vets should be the most taken care of group of people in the country, yet we have a government that discards them like trash. The government doesn't see soldiers as people, they see them as expendable resources.
