Failed Comedian and Chickenhawk Rob Schneider Says the U.S. 'Must Restore the Military Draft' Amid Iran War [View all]

‘These Freedoms That We Cherish Do Not Come Without Cost

Rob Schneider took to X on Friday to declare that the United States “must restore the military draft for our nation’s young people” amid the ongoing war with Iran.

“Each and every American, at eighteen years of age, must serve two years of military service,” Schneider, who has never served in the military, wrote. “They could also choose to serve part of that time overseas or in country in a volunteer capacity. Being a citizen of the United States gives us unparalleled Freedoms and opportunities that are the envy of the world. However, these Freedoms that we cherish do not come without a cost.”

He continued, “By protecting and preserving these Freedoms, young people, regardless of race, creed or religion will be united in service to their country and just as importantly, to each other. Many Nations around the world require their young citizens to serve their country. Until recently, our Nation did as well.”

Schneider claimed that by reinstating the draft, young Americans would be “put into a rigorous physical training course that they could use for the rest of their lives.” He also claimed that, “unlike in today’s universities,” the military would teach them “how truly great their country is.”
