It's really not that hard....

Conscription was ended effective June, 1973 by an Act of Congress passed in 1971.

Congress would need to pass legislation authorizing conscription.

In summary there has not been a draft since 1973.

          Pickle is not JG.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/29 10:23:15
     But it can be apart of your individual identity and it's not - TheWildcat STL - 3/29 09:15:11
          Well...i disagree about the forced part - pickle MU - 3/29 09:24:24
               If you allow yourself to be indoctrinated and stay - TheWildcat STL - 3/29 09:27:35
                    it’s not that simple - pickle MU - 3/29 09:36:39
                         You escaped. How is that possible? I am guessing choices - TheWildcat STL - 3/29 09:37:33
                              somewhat. I was also in my early and mid-thirties - pickle MU - 3/29 09:41:23

                                             It certainly does go that way on the board. - ummmm MU - 3/29 10:24:17
                                                  Would you say that patriotism is a form of pride? (nm) - pickle MU - 3/29 10:36:49
                                                       Absolutely. Pride is an irrational emotion (nm) - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 10:54:25
                                                       Yeah, I'd say so. (nm) - ummmm MU - 3/29 10:46:13
                                                  I love the country. I do not love the state. I will not - TigerMatt STL - 3/29 10:28:32
                                                       Yes, spot on I'd say - ummmm MU - 3/29 10:32:37
                                                       I thought you were the former cop - Mormad MU - 3/29 10:30:11

                                        The only thing you listed - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 10:01:38
                                             Correct. That tends to be the root of many problems. (nm) - ummmm MU - 3/29 10:03:28
                                                  Absolutely (nm) - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 10:06:28

                         That is not conscription - Spanky KU - 3/29 09:42:56
