Experts and local veterans discuss reinstating the draft in America.
A draft (technically called “conscription”) is the compulsory enlistment of people in military service. The United States ended its draft in 1973. Today, less than 0.5% of the nation’s population serves in the military.
Those in favor argue that the draft would distribute the burdens of military service more equitably across the nation, while those against contend it would weaken our military and divide the country further.
