The discussion of the draft is baffling. There has been absolutely no indication from the White House that they are in the least bit interested in a draft.

It was a Democrat that introduced the draft bill for vote, with the idea that the House could crush the bill and finally put to rest the consistent rumors of a draft. It's not going to happen.

Furthermore, the military is vehemently opposed to a draft. They do not have the capability to train a huge influx of conscripts, and it would dilute the effectiveness of our military, not enhance it. Our military is far too technical today to train a bunch of unwilling recruits in a short time to any level of effectiveness.
