It's wild to see people in real time learning that war is bad and civilians die a lot. As if contemporary wars are the only ones that have had mass civilian casualties. Shit is horrific always.

To institute a draft, Congress would have to update the Military Selective Service Act with specific references to the current conflict, and then the president would have to sign it…

Or, apparently, Trump could just bypass all of that with an Executive Order, because why bother with following the law? Also, it seems, he could make the ages anything he wants, whereas now it’s ages 18 to 25.

He’ll be drafting his political enemies by setting draft ages to their birth dates.
