Here we have a president who finally got us out of a 20-year-long war in Afghanistan, and yet the right-wingers are hoping he enters another war!
Two points to consider;
Firstly, since when does Biden not lie? Remember Keystone and his campaign promise to the Keystone workers? He broke that promise on day one of his 'presidency'.

Secondly, it was orange man bad who ended the Afghan war. Biden only screwed it up by delaying it and then bungling the process (but he did complete orange man bad's process he had begun). Biden can claim no credit for the ending of that war but he most certainly owns the screw up!

One can consider Biden's statement that there won't be a war with Russia to be an ill omen.

But to answer the OP question - no need to worry if you are un-vaxxed or hold a Democrat party cart. Those two will will be exempt. Oh yes, the illegal boarder crossers will be exempt too.

No draft since 1973 and yet lots of military "actions" - why would that possibly change now? Oh yeah, just stirring the pot.

There will be no draft, because there will be no war. And even if there was war, there still wouldn't be a draft.

Political suicide. Americans by majority are sick of war, and that means those things done by the actual volunteer military. So now do something already unpopular, and compound the unpopularity by resurrecting conscription, to make sure you are unanimously hated? Makes no sense.

Under authoritarian rule - politics matters less. The Biden admin is actively working to dismantle society to create an country that is the opposite of what it was originally founded as. Instead of govt by and for the people - it is people controlled by govt. That is not an exaggeration.

Get back to me when the dictatorship is official and the entire US system of government has been altered. Until then, there will be no draft.

A draft would have to be adopted legislatively, not by an Executive Order. Which is sort of what you said.

Originally founded as a nation with...
*property qualifications for voting?
*no female sufferage?
*poll taxes?
*legalized chattel slavery?
*exploitation of even white working men?
*no paid family and child care leave?
*Caveat emptor in place of real legal protection for consumers of goods and services?
(that's means "Let the buyer beware" in Latin)

Sorry, the Founding Fathers were brilliant individuals, but they still weren't gods. They were just as prone to make mistakes as other people. Therefore The Constitution, while it should be followed, is not error-free. It's not holy scripture. In fact, it's meant to be amended.

Uh huh. Never gonna happen, and even if it did, draft avoidance for Biden would make Johnson/Nixon draft avoidance seem like one dude forgot to get on the bus.
