Mo Facts compares the current vaccine mandates to the 1940 Selective Service Act, the first peacetime draft in U.S. history. Adam Curry recalls having to register for the draft during the first Iraq invasion (Desert Storm). They discuss the "weirdness" of every 18-year-old man receiving a card that signifies the government's ability to send them to war.
On December 1st, 1969, the U.S. held its first military draft lottery since 1942, using 366 capsules to determine the order of service based on birthdays. Statisticians later argued the draw was flawed because end-of-year dates were clustered at the top. The hosts compare this arbitrary selection process to the "disingenuous" and "arbitrary" nature of current vaccine mandates.
