Actor and comedian Rob Schneider has proposed reinstating a military draft for all Americans at age 18, serving two years either overseas or domestically. Schneider, who has no military background, argued that such a system would foster unity and instill a sense of national duty. He cited the U.S.'s historical draft system, which ended in 1972, and compared it to mandatory service in other nations. Schneider also suggested that military training could provide lifelong benefits, contrasting it with contemporary university education. The U.S. currently requires male citizens aged 18-25 to register with the Selective Service System, though no active draft is in place. Schneider's proposal comes amid ongoing tensions with Iran, though he did not explicitly link the two.
