This is what a draft is. People were likely sent notices, then didn’t appear.
If the US were to be invaded and was fighting for its life, it would institute a draft. We did it for a lot of wars a hell of a lot less important than an inside your borders existential threat.
If you don’t like the draft, I get it. If you think that countries and not just people should be pacifist (in essence making that decision for all of the people in the country), I can sort of understand that, although I think there’s unethical consequences. But there’s no reason to pretend that this isn’t absolutely normal. The Russians are doing the same, and they’re the invaders.
