I don't consider GWII another Viet Nam, but once again we are in a restricted operations campaign which does nothing but prolong the suffering on both sides.
My only problem with reinstating the draft is how detrimental it will be on the efficiency of our armed forces. America's military is one of if not THE best in the world for a couple of reasons. Obviously money and technology are at the forefront but the fact that our military is an all volunteer military seriously aids in morale and overall effectiveness.
In my honest opinion the draft wouldn't help the military in this country unless America was blatantly attacked by a known military and entered a conflict more on the scale of Korea/WWII.
Just my $.02
