Will there be a new military draft?
Why should we care?

There’s been little public notice, but the U.S. is on the verge of its first major national debate about military conscription since the early 1980s.
A bipartisan National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service (NCMNPS) appointed in late 2016 by lame-duck President Obama and Congressional leaders has been studying whether the current requirement for all young men to register with the Selective Service System (SSS) for a possible military draft should be ended entirely, extended to young women as well as young men, or replaced with some other system of (possibly compulsory) military and/or civilian national service.
