Rob Schneider Wants the US to Reinstate the Draft, Believes 'Each & Every American' at Age 18 'Must Serve 2 Years of Military Service'
Rob Schneider believes that American citizens should have to enlist in military service and that the draft should be reinstated.
The Hot Chick actor shared a post on X on Friday (March 27), saying that U.S. citizens should “recommit” to “one nation under God, indivisible” by restoring the military draft for “our nation’s young people.”
“Each and every American, at 18 years of age, must serve two years of military service. They could also choose to serve part of that time overseas or in country in a volunteer capacity,” he said.

Rob, 62, has not served in the military himself.
He asserts that the “unparalleled freedoms and opportunities” that come with American citizenship “are the envy of the world” but that they “do not come without a cost.”
“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,” he continued.
The Saturday Night Live alum said that he envisions all young men and women committing to “a rigorous physical training course that they could use for the rest of their lives” to create a “standing army ready at all times including for domestic problems like natural disasters.”
Rob went on to say that, “Unlike in today’s Universities, our young people will learn how truly great their country is and how unique and incredible are the Freedoms that this Nation bestows upon them.”
He said he also believes that “service is a solemn reminder of the men and women before them who ‘paid the last full measure of devotion’ so that we may enjoy these Freedoms.”
“Also, very importantly, we would have in service every segment of our society represented so that our elected officials would be more hesitant and not cavalier about sending their own sons and daughters off to a faraway war unless it was truly in our Nation’s interests,” the actor added.
“Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.”
