The tweet in question from the official Selective Service Twitter account.
Perhaps, ill-timed.
Did not take long at all for all the conspiracy loonies to have their panties in a bunch.
The draft is NOT returning.
Not now.
Not tomorrow.
Not ever.
But just like a heroin addict needs his next fix of heroin.
Conspiracy theory addicts need their next conspiracy.

I’m sure this was a random autotweet of some kind - but I like to think it was some 16-year old intern with an urge to instigate.

Could have been chain jerking.
More likely it was some low level employee who failed to realize that the use of the acronym FEMA in any context sets certain mentally unstable people off.

They all are supposed to use the same latrine. Just don’t forget to put the seat down when finished.

I don’t see the problem with the message in the tweet.
If we need a draft, it means the crap is hitting the fan. Therefore there will be a lot of need for manpower on the home front as well. Those who don’t want to pull a trigger over there can dig out survivors from bombed out rubble here at home. Save a life instead of taking one in defense of the nation.
Am I missing something?

I agree.
And abolition of registration would allow us to abolish the associated bureaucracy, Selective Service, saving us a bit of money.

Nah, that’s pretty much the gist of it. The molehill a mountain no more.
