With global instability on the rise — from Iran to Ukraine — the concept of reinstating the military draft has entered public discussion once again. But what if a 21st-century draft didn’t look like the past? In this video, two speakers explore the idea of a modern military draft — not just for soldiers, but for everyone. They debate how today's warfare is more technological than tactical, and how we might better utilize people’s specific skills to serve the country in innovative ways. 💬 Conversation Highlights: Would a draft bring discipline back for troubled youth? Does technology reduce the need for traditional soldiers? Could professions like journalists or marketers be drafted too? What if we had a televised Military Draft — NFL-style? Imagine a world where national service isn’t limited to carrying a rifle. Instead, cyber specialists, content creators, translators, and communicators are called to serve — using their talents to protect and unite the country in a time of crisis. This episode isn’t just a “what if” — it’s a fresh lens on civic duty, national responsibility, and how the next generation might redefine what it means to serve.
