Conscription in the United States, commonly known as the draft, has been employed by the federal government in four 'conflicts': US Civil War; World War I; World War II; and the Cold War (including the Korean and Vietnam Wars). The third incarnation of the draft came into being in 1940 through the Selective Training and Service Act. It was the country's first peacetime draft. From 1940 until 1973, during both peacetime and periods of conflict, men were drafted to fill vacancies in the armed forces which could not be filled through voluntary means. The draft was ended when the United States military moved to an all-volunteer military force. However, the Selective Service System remains in place as a contingency plan; men between the ages of 18 and 25 are required to register so that a draft can be readily resumed if needed.
In colonial times, the Thirteen Colonies used a militia system for defense. Colonial militia laws—and after independence those of the United States and the various states—required able-bodied males to enroll in the militia, to undergo a minimum of military training, and to serve for limited periods of time in war or emergency. This earliest form of conscription involved selective drafts of militiamen for service in particular campaigns. Following this system in its essentials, the Continental Congress in 1778 recommended that the states draft men from their militias for one year's service in the Continental army; this first national conscription was irregularly applied and failed to fill the Continental ranks.
The Draft are a band featuring Hot Water Music members Jason Black, George Rebelo and Chris Wollard. The band also features guitarist Todd Rockhill of Black Cougar Shock Unit, Discount and a host of other Gainesville, Florida based acts.
The Draft formed soon after the departure of singer/guitarist Chuck Ragan from Hot Water Music. The three remaining members of the band wanted to continue making music together, but decided not to continue under the Hot Water Music name, choosing instead to start fresh.
In 2006, The Draft began touring. Their debut album, In a Million Pieces, was released on September 12, 2006.
On March 13, 2007, The Draft released a self-titled digital EP through all major music download services.
In mid-October 2007, The Draft released the We'll Never Know/Hard to Be Around It 7" on No Idea Records. The two songs are also available through iTunes.
The Draft reunited for a tour in summer 2013.

verse1
i took down the pictures of you and me
and i changed the locks on my door
don't wanna see your name on my phone when it rings
and i don't dream about you no more
( i can't believe)
i held on for so long
knowing that you moved on
the only thing that's left for me to do is
Hook-
Let It Go
Movin on
feelins gone
i can see the light now
I'm free from all the pain that comes with lovin ya
Let It Go
Took control
now i know
my future's starting right now
i finally closed that book forevers gone its over now
verse2
it broke my heARt to watch you through it all away
There was nothing i wanted more
devastated waited patiently
only to find i'm over it
don't die without you no more
(now i'm free)
from all the lies you told
now that i'm on my own
