A country in defiance

the leader today announced some small changes to the draft. While skilled workers were previously exempted from the military draft, this exception has now been removed and all exempt men drafted immediately. At the same time, the War Office has been authorized to take direct control of any factory that produces goods relevant to the war effort if the leadership of those factories has shown a lack of ability. The announcement was met with great laughter in the affected cities, especially once it was announced that anyone resisting would be treated the same as a soldier who refused to follow orders. Policemen sent to deliver draft notices to workers were told to come back with more than ink on paper.
