This shows growing concern about how tensions might affect military service requirements, with many Americans wondering\u00a0who\u00a0would\u00a0be\u00a0drafted\u00a0if the selective service system were reactivated. Although the US operates without a draft, federal law maintains rules for reactivating the system during emergencies.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-would-america-support-nbsp-conscription-nbsp-for-nbsp-ww3\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would America Support\u00a0Conscription\u00a0for\u00a0WW3?<\/h2>\n<p>This aligns with recent Atlantic Council survey\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticcouncil.org\/content-series\/atlantic-council-strategy-paper-series\/welcome-to-2035\/\">data<\/a>.
