    Backlash does pretty much nothing in the US

    I think you're underestimating how gen Z would respond to a draft. There has been no generation in US history less supportive of war. I think a significant number of gen Z would gladly turn their weapons on the general that asks them to commit war crimes without hesitation, and that's if they even manage to drag us kicking and screaming to the front.

    It wouldn't change a thing. They already did that in the Vietnam war

    The Vietnam war began with majority support and slowly became unpopular over time. The Iran war started with the majority opposing it, and is the first war where that's happened in US history. It's a very different political climate from the Vietnam war era.
