Ever since the First Gulf War (1990), hardly a year goes by where we aren't inundated by rumors of re-instatement of a military draft. In December 2007, the Selective Service System announce that it plans to conduct a comprehensive test of the draft system sometime in 2009. This, coupled President Bush increasing our force size in Iraq, has caused a flurry of newspaper editorials, speculating about the possibility of a draft. The draft for the Iraq mission is not needing to be put in use.

Speaking about the US; the first Draft was during the US Civil War (1861-1865) and the last draft was the Vietnam War (1961-1975).

Why did America institute the draft?

The United States periodically institutes a draft when the government has declared war and the number of volunteers is insufficient to accomplish its war goals. The US had fought several wars without enacting a draft at all, such as the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The most recent war during which conscription was used was the Vietnam War. All men are required to register for the draft at age 18, in case war is declared in the future.
