“In Washington today, the Department of Defense announced an increase in the number of young men to be called for military service in the coming months. Officials cite rising operational demands overseas as the reason for the expanded draft quota.”
“Selective Service representatives emphasized that local draft boards will begin notifying eligible registrants immediately. Men between the ages of eighteen and twenty‑six are advised to ensure their information is current and to await further instruction from their respective boards.”
“A Pentagon spokesman stated that, while the decision was not taken lightly, it reflects what he called ‘the nation’s continuing commitment to its responsibilities abroad.’ Additional details are expected following a scheduled briefing later this week.”
“We will continue to follow this story and bring you updates as they become available. This has been the National News Service.”
The news as per the usual, isn't good.
