The US military draft is currently inactive, but it can be reactivated in times of war or national emergency. Men aged 20-25 would be the first to be called up, followed by 19 and 18-year-olds. The draft is based on a national lottery system, with birthdays randomly drawn to determine the order of induction. Those selected would undergo medical, physical, and administrative screening before being inducted into the military. Only about 23% of Americans aged 17-24 meet the basic eligibility standards for military service without needing waivers. Disqualifying factors include obesity, general health conditions, and upheld criminal records.
