Rob Schneider calls for US to ‘restore military draft for our nation’s young people’ amid Iran war
Rob Schneider urges all 18-year-olds to serve two years in military or volunteer roles to foster unity and readiness amid rising Iran conflict tensions.
- Actor Rob Schneider posted on X on Friday calling for mandatory two-year service for all 18-year-old Americans, effectively aiming to restore the military draft.
- Amid rising tensions with Iran, Schneider framed the proposal as promoting national unity and patriotism while preparing the country for potential military conflicts and domestic crises.
- Mandatory service would apply to all 18-year-olds, including men and women, with Schneider proposing that politicians' families be included to make officials more hesitant about entering faraway wars.
- The White House indicated reinstating the draft is not currently part of its plan, though officials did not completely rule it out as Schneider's proposal sparked online debate.
- Since 1973, the United States has maintained an all-volunteer military force, though men aged 18 to 25 remain required to register with the Selective Service System for potential future drafts.
