Putin to conscript 160,000 more Russians for war with Ukraine

Reply in thread

My point was at least half or more of the US population has little-to-no-memory of what that was like.

My dad was drafted during the Vietnam era but I'm in my 50's and have no actual memory of that time.

I know it happened but I was really young when they stopped the draft and we've had several generations born since then who also have no memory of it.

It would be politically dangerous for a government to restart a draft absent an actual world war-type situation or a dictatorship.
