The draft age goes up to 35 iirc so still the majority of millennials
It's 18-26 for draft service. 17-45 is the emergency militia range. Which means anyone over 26 will be press ganged into national guard status after the current waves are deployed.
In Ukraine they've successfully demonstrated that drafting 26-65 is easier. I wouldn't put it past them to change the draft age in order to reduce resistance.
Holy hell I thought it was way lower. Like 16-25 years old for front lines.
I need to educate myself.
Wow so I could be drafted. That would be wild. Imagine my owl ass on a battlefield I'd probably accidentally explode myself or something.
In Ukraine they're drafting 55 year olds. 👀
I thought I was safe when I turned 36
You were thinking of the normal recruitment age. For a draft the range is higher.
Draft is whatever they want/need. Recruitment will be exhausted first, then they'll expand it. Older people will get drafted based on profession (medical professionals will be drafted at basically any age).
