There is some merit to what you say, Cosmoline. At this point, I agree a draft would be political suicide if someone seriously proposed it. But as Americans become more worried about safety than liberty, and as our politicians continue to pursue unending foreign wars in the name of fighting terrorism, sooner or later something will have to give, and we will have to get soldiers from somewhere.
Either we will have to raise salaries drastically to encourage "voluntary" recruitment, outsource our military to foreign mercenaries, or re-instate a draft.
