Google searches for draft age increase amid concerns of war between the US and Iran

After Iran's Revolutionary Guard's top commander Qassem Soleimani was killed in a US-orchestrated airstrike at Baghd's International airport on January 2, an increase in Google searches for draft was ticed amid concerns of a war between United States and Iran. According to reports, Google searches for draft in US witnessed a massive increase after airstrike and that spike was ticed after website of Selective Service System (SSS) crashed. SSS is an organisation which looks into and gives out information based on military draft.

Google Trends also showcased that an increase in searches for draft was witnessed in Wales, England, and Scotland. According to reports, draft in US is between 18-26 whereas system of draft has been n-existent in United Kingdom since year 1963 with former lower limit being 17.

What is 'Draft '?

All US male citizens between group 18-25 are required to register with Selective Service System. Selective Service System (SSS) is a standalone ncy in United States that keeps hold of information based on all those American people subject to military draft. United States of America for first time drafted soldiers during Civil War and stopped conscripting soldiers after 1973 and its aftermath resulted in SSS.

SSS mandates all male citizens to register within a month of ir 18th birthday, listing all those who are subject to a potential draft. However, in today's time, US military follows a volunteer system and in order to reinstate military conscription, Congress will be required to pass a law, needing President's signature and large political support.
