On: Ask HN: Should there be a “draft” for cyber war?

[dreen]

Draft only makes sense if your country is actually being invaded. Otherwise it is a massive waste of resources to force people into service they do not wish to perform, nobody gets anything useful out of that.

On the other hand, if you begin the draft the same day as the invasion you are probably going to have a bad time

True, but when you get an entire fighting age group in front of draft commission, you can assess and pick those who have a chance to do well.
