U.S. Army warns of 'fake' texts informing US citizens they have been selected for draft
The U.S. Army advised Americans that the military is not drafting individuals by any means, including through text messages.
Calling them"fake," the Army said they want to make sure"Americans understand these texts are false and were not initiated by this command or the U.S. Army." The statement comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and the U.S. since the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who led the Quds Force.Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed a"vigorous vengeance" and said Soleimani was killed"by the hands of the cruelest of the mankind on the earth," according to a statement issued the day after the airstrike.
The Selective Service System, which holds a list of potential recruits in the event of a draft, said that they are"conducting business as usual" after experiencing high traffic volumes amid the tensions.
