Can the state currently send your kids to war? By this, I mean forcefully via a draft. I was under the impression that it's a no for now and for the foreseeable future.
Just because they can do it at any time doesn't mean they ever will. We have a large and expensive professional army and people reacted badly to the draft in 1960s I can only imagine what today's kids would do if they were drafted. It would be political suicide to enact a draft.
So technically yes the state can forcefully draft any male between 18-28 to go fight in a war. But practically no, it will never happen again.
In practice, will they? Probably not. But weirder things have happened.
