The tweet from the SSS also provided a link to their official website explaining what a conscientious objector is, and what their rights are. All men ages 18-25 are required to enter the draft services, though women are currently not mandated to register.
Beliefs which qualify a registrant for CO status may be religious in nature, but don’t have to be. Beliefs may be moral or ethical; however, a man’s reasons for not wanting to participate in a war must not be based on politics, expediency, or self-interest. In general, the man’s lifestyle prior to making his claim must reflect his current claims.
Two types of service are available to conscientious objectors, and the type assigned is determined by the individual’s specific beliefs. The person who is opposed to any form of military service will be assigned to alternative service – described below. The person whose beliefs allow him to serve in the military but in a noncombatant capacity will serve in the Armed Forces but will not be assigned training or duties that include using weapons.
The SSS explains on their website
Those opposed to entering into physical warfare and bearing arms will then be placed into the SSS’s Alternative Service Program, which aims to linkup CO’s with local employers. There are different positions available, but these roles are designed to in some fashion benefit the greater good of the nation and war efforts, the SSS explains. The fields usually consist of “conservation, caring for the very young or very old, education, health care;” and the length of equates to two years (24 months).
Due to the timing of this tweet, many have wondered if this singles a coming reinstituting of the draft.
The Libertarian Party of Arkansas responded to the SSS by posting a quote by Robert A. Heinlein:
I also think there are prices too high to pay to save the United States. Conscription is one of them. Conscription is slavery, and I don’t think that any people or nation has a right to save itself at the price of slavery for anyone, no matter what name it is called. We have had the draft for twenty years now; I think this is shameful. If a country can’t save itself through the volunteer service of its own free people, then I say: Let the damned thing go down the drain!
However, others are quick to call foul to these claims and assertions that the U.S. is gearing up for war. The Daily Dot wrote, “Conspiracy theorists believe that the U.S. military is preparing to reinstate the draft as Russia’s attack on Ukraine intensifies.”
After sharing some of the responses by Twitter and Reddit users, the Daily Dot additionally notes that, “A simple search on Twitter shows that the Selective Service has already shared five tweets mentioning the draft in just this year alone. The account mentioned the term at least ni[n]e times in 2021 as well.”
As a matter of fact, the search history shows the SSS tweeted the exact same post and picture one month ago entirely (February 22nd).
In a statement to the Daily Dot, the SSS reiterated their purpose:
As part of our overall awareness campaign, we remain active on all forms of social media, and amplify the requirement to register, volunteer opportunities, our alternatives service program to all young men between the ages of 18-25.
Contradictory to what the Daily Dot calls “conspiracists” think, the SSS has been pumping out the same message for a while.
That being said, Military.com published a report on February 24th, when the Russia-Ukraine conflict finally hit it’s boiling point, explaining what the draft is and how it works. The following is excerpt from their piece:
Legally, you could be in a lot of trouble if you don’t register: It’s a felony. However, no one has been prosecuted for the crime since 1986. But that doesn’t mean you won’t have problems.
If you fail to register for the draft by the time you turn 26, you are no longer able to do so. Then, if you apply for any government benefits at any time after that, you quite possibly will be denied. No student aid, government job, etc.
Government statistics suggest that more than 1 million men have been denied some government benefits because they weren’t registered for the draft. An appeal to get those benefits can be costly and time-consuming.
In 2017, the Selective Service System turned over nearly 200,000 names and addresses of people who had failed to register for the draft to the Department of Justice for computer matching.
Of course, they make it easy to register. Like the old Uncle Sam poster says, “They Want YOU!”
You can register online, at the post office and many high schools, when you get your driver’s license or by returning the card that comes in the mail around your 18th birthday.
The law says men must register with the selective service within 30 days of turning 18.
Several groups are exempt from registering, such as those currently on active duty, some disabled persons and those who are incarcerated. Conscientious objectors are required to register. A conscientious objector is one who is opposed to serving in the armed forces and/or bearing arms on the grounds of moral or religious principles.
If you served on active duty and were discharged before your 26th birthday, you still have to register.
If it is ever needed and implemented, a present-day draft would have similarities to that of the Vietnam War. Here’s how it would work.
The Selective Service System says it most likely would hold a draft lottery based on dates of birth. The number 1 would correspond to Jan. 1, 15 to Jan. 15, etc. Officials would draw numbers similar to drawing numbers for a lottery. If your birthdate is the first one drawn, you are the first to be drafted.
Normally, officials have a cutoff number based on the needs of the military. For example, during the 1969 draft lottery, men born between Jan. 1, 1944, and Dec, 31, 1950, were eligible to be drafted for the following year, 1970. Of the 366 possible birthdays in those years (leap years included), 195 birth dates were called for possible induction. That meant more than half the men born during those years were subject to being drafted. If your birthday wasn’t one of the first 195 drawn, you were lucky — you didn’t have to go.
The second draft lottery, on July 1, 1970, was for men born in 1951. For that year 125 out of 365 possible birthdays were conscripted. The third Vietnam draft lottery was on Aug. 5, 1971, for men born in 1952; in that year, 95 birthdays were called up for compulsory service.
According to the selective service, if a draft were held today, those who are 20 years old — or turning 20 during the year in which the numbers are drawn — would be the first to go. Beginning Jan. 1 of the year an eligible male turns 21, he would drop into the second priority category, and men born the following year would move into the priority group one. Each succeeding year, a draft eligible man drops into the next lower priority group until he has reached his 26th birthday, at which time he is over the age of liability for the draft.
In the case of a draft, some users on Twitter also noted that their children would not be able to be drafted because they have not received a Covid-19 vaccine, as the military has been discharging troops and volunteers from service for their refusal to take a vaccine.
As for the rumors of war continuing to fester, President Biden in a recent speech from Poland, “misspoke” telling U.S. troops that they would see conflict.
Ukrainian people have a lot of backbone. They have a lot of guts, and I’m sure you’re observing it, and I don’t mean just their military, which is — we’ve been training since back when they — Russia moved into the — in the southeast — southeast Ukraine — but also the average citizen. Look at how they’re stepping up. Look at how they’re stepping up.
And you’re going to see when you’re there, and you — some — some of you have been there. You’re going to see — you’re going to see women, young people standing — standing in the middle of — in front of a damn tank, just saying, ‘I’m not leaving. I’m holding my ground.’ They’re incredible, but they take a lot of inspiration from us.
And it’s not only what you’re doing to help the Ukrainian people. It’s not only what you’re doing to help Europe begin to gain — regain its confidence.
The reason why, when the general — when the Secretary of State asked me if I’d send another 12,000 troops along to the United States, I said, ‘Yeah’ — from the United States — we have 100,000 American forces here in Europe; we haven’t had that long, long time — because we are the organizing principle for the rest of the world.
He later said that there would and must be a regime change in Russia, by removing Vladimir Putin from leadership – which the White House was quick to correct and dispel the notion that a forcible regime change would occur.
For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power. God bless you all and may God defend our freedom.
Biden shouted
The Russian Kremlin did not like the sound of that.

Based on the evidence, it seems that the SSS has been reposting the same message many times over, and someone just happened to pick up on that recent tweet and make a big stick about it. To me, it seems like some people are trying to create panic and animosity as usual.
Howbeit, I do think at some point a draft is coming if the handlers plan for America to enter into yet another war, which would be WW III at that point.
But I’m not vaccinated, so… And even then, I will take no part in murdering for Uncle Sam, as a lot of people will also be refusing to enter this war if called upon by the Feds.
I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
Psalm 120:7
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Jacob I left you a link that might interest you.
I’m surprised they haven’t added women into the draft also with all this feminism/women’s empowerment crap they keep tossing around…
I would note that another thing they have done is to reframe the biblical right to self-defense: bodily & of property to Romanist terms. They misrepresented the baptists in American History consistently, & it drove me crazy. They always, always, always lump the baptists in with the mystical Quakers, Shakers & such as ‘dangerous’ & kooks; or with the pacifist political socialists like those people were involved in. As with the creationists, you couldn’t really engage with them biblically because of their ‘Babel Bible buffet’ as Will Kinney (Augustinian, but useful in his King James knowledge, defense & true scholarship w/ caution) describes such.

They’re working to further marginalize with their fake dialectic either-or garbage. If you questioned anything about the schools & social services, you were ‘against the kids’. If you questioned anything about how they were handling civil rights, you were ‘against people of color’ , then it was expanded to gender as the sods gained money, power & influence (like Rome, they have no family responsibilities, do not naturally reproduce themselves or have progeny, & resort to theft & craft: using other peoples’ whatever, including people as well as property), and if you didn’t go along or questioned, you became a ‘hater’. If you pointed out Israel being God’s chosen, then you were a Zionist fascist….no distinctions allowed.

Here, they’re framing it that if you ‘conscientiously object’ to the draft & serving in unjust wars, it means you’re against bearing arms or the justified use of arms. And, of course, they will expand it to women through the transgender game & just like the male dominant sods of occult craft, they will set up & use women & the effeminate to their ends like described in ‘The Pink Swastika’ (tho not a blanket endorsement of the authors & promoters of that humanist spun thing either…still facts there which are typically hidden).

Clever, sophist sickos. Rome’s fingerprints all over it as you can see the roots & planning, & execution of those plans back decades, centuries even, millennia. They’re marginalizing further after ghettoizing the ‘churches’, removing Christians from the word &dumbing them down, Jesuit influencing everything they could infiltrate, take and ‘transform’.
Steps for Genocide of young men:
1. Create a false flag event, and blame it on Russia or China.
2. Beat the drums of war through the mainstream media propaganda machine.
3. Start drafting young men between the ages of 18-25.
4. Forcibly vaccinate them with the Covid vaccine which the “WRAIR” was working on.
5. Send them into combat, where their heart rate will be greatly accelerated.
6. Claim they died “fighting for freedom”.
