Whoopi’s Draft Panic Goes Off the Rails

Whoopi Goldberg lit up another round of controversy on The View after saying Trump was “planning on a draft” to fight Iran.

The problem is straightforward: there is no evidence of any draft plan. No announcement. No policy. No proof.

The segment started with Alyssa Farah Griffin talking about Iran as a long-term threat. She said, “Keep in mind the Iranian regime is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism. Ten years from now, 20 years from now, they may try to strike the homeland, they may try to strike troops in the region. This doesn’t go away just because you sign a piece of paper.”

Goldberg then took the discussion in a very different direction, saying, “No, nothing goes away. And that’s why they’re planning on a draft! They’re planning on a draft! And you’re bitching and moaning that there are women who are part of the – the Army, Navy, all the – and you’re getting rid of people and talking about who shouldn’t be — what the hell are you people doing?!”

Goldberg said, “It’s a draft! I can sorry, it’s a draft! Because if you are 18 to 25, they’re looking at you!”

That is where the confusion matters. A draft and a registration rule are not the same thing. One means forced military service. The other is a paperwork issue tied to the Selective Service system. Mixing those up on national television is a big miss, especially when the topic is war and young Americans.
