WHO on this forum is NOT too old to get "DRAFTED"......???

If we are going into WW-III we will need the draft.

 

[Amish Heart]

Probably more appropriately asked would be who has grandkids that will be drafted?
I'll raise my hand. Our youngest child is 30. I don't know what the age would be, do you?

Draft age is 18-25, so pretty much everyone. But the service age limit varies by branch and circumstance, from 28 in the USMC to 42 in the USAF.

However if WWIII breaks out the rules will all change, especially since many 18-25 year olds are not in the physical or mental shape necessary to fight. Although they should be drafted and sent to fight anyway.

If memory serves ww2 was 32 year old

I don't know. I believe Germany just pass some type of pre-draft law. I think American males have to "register" when they turn 18 y/o.

All 18 yr old males have to send in their paperwork, always have. Even our son who is in his 30's did, and our grandson who is 19 had to, too, so that's been going on awhile. But I did read recently that they're automatically registered now, everybody is in a database already. Even the girls.

I seem to remember, a few years ago, that they changed the draft to include women. Otherwise all the men 18-25 will be buying dresses and calling themselves Betty or Veronica.

The average age of Ukrainian front line troops, is in the mid to late forties.

I don't know what age the oldest troops are, but there are at least some in their early sixties.

Yes, when people turned 18, if they wanted to get a job, they had to get a SS number.
When they did, they were registered for the draft.
... And they damsure don't want to recruit us old fogeys!
Imagine troops that are singing: "The worst you can do to me is, end my suffering".

 

[TENNGRIZZ]

I believe they will try and recall all GWOT veterans before a Draft is imposed. And most of Them myself included. We Will Fight , But we Will not fight their wars for profit anymore. DC had better be commited to war like the Roman Senate was at Cannae.

I'm too old for it.

Often wished I had served when young, but there was a different path for me.
