You keep mixing apples and oranges and trying to call it peaches.

The military of today is driven by PC civilians - which is why all the single moms you’re complaining about. Which is why the Infantry is about to be opened up to females.

Those issues have nothing to do with the draft and will not change if there is a draft.

The only thing that will change is there will now be folks in the Military who don’t want to be there.

You can’t keep the ranks filled without females today, the longer they are there, then the more the military will become about, and for, them.

You haven’t explained how to make up for the lack of men as a percentage, or the over all lack of manpower.

Personally, I would rather try to convert an 18 year old male into a warrior, than a female who enlisted for the daycare and benefits, and who never expected to have to fight.

Draftees volunteered for Jump School from it’s first creation in 1940, continuously through well past 1973, and we never even noticed the difference between them and RA, nor did we notice it in the Rangers, and the Special Forces, but women destroyed Jump School in no time.
