PsychWars! YOU'VE BEEN DRAFTED!

[Razer]

The U.S. Army is warning about fake text messages saying people have
been selected for the military draft.

In a statement Tuesday, the Army said that several people around the
country have received texts saying they have been drafted or are
eligible for the draft. Some texts told the recipients to head to their
nearest Army branch “for immediate departure to Iran.”

The texts included both real and fake names of Army officials, and
warned of fines and jail time for a minimum of six years if there was no
reply.
Kelli Bland, director of Public Affairs for U.S. Army Recruiting
Command, told McClatchy News that their recruiters would not communicate
with anyone regarding a draft or registration in the Selective Service.
The Selective Service System, which is a separate agency from the
Department of Defense, manages registration for the draft. The draft has
not been in effect since 1973.

The Selective Service System said in a Facebook post Jan. 3 that it is
“conducting business as usual.”

“In the event that a national emergency necessitates a draft, Congress
and the President would need to pass official legislation to authorize a
draft,” the post said.

Bland said Army security personnel are looking into the origin of the texts.
