Will the Covid kids get drafted? [View all]

20 year olds are usually the first one's called for the draft. That means kids who were 14 years old and missed school because of Covid are at the front of the line. Their 19 year old friends are closely behind. Will these kids that have already experienced Covid shutdowns and to a much lesser degree the financial crisis be called to serve?
