    There is no draft in the US. It was abolished forty years ago. The chances of it being reinstated are remote.

    1) The last draft was done FORTY YEARS AGO

    2) To have a draft it would require an ACT OF CONGRESS

    3) There was NO draft during Iraq and Afghanistan because they had enough personnel

    4) They are turning people AWAY who want to join

    5) They are NOT allowing people who are IN the military to reenlist or they are higher in standards for staying in.

    6) STOP freaking out, unless there is a WORLD WAR you will NOT get drafted!

    It's a felony not to register with the selective service when you turn 18. How well do you think you'd fare in jail?

    Even if by some small, remote chance the draft was reinstated, you wouldn't pass the medical exam and they would not make you serve.

    Parker, you are a drama queen. The draft ended in 1973. Nobody has been drafted in 40 years. So what are you crying about?

    Oh, you are MOST DEFINITELY a drama queen!

    Anyone who has his panties in a bunch like you over something that has not happened for FORTY YEARS has maturity issues.

    Don't sweat it - even with a draft they wouldn't take a crybaby like you.

    You will be fine bro. The only reason why you would get called up is if there was a WWIII which is extremely unlikely. Besides, being deployed isnt really that bad.
