Assuming you'd be increasing the size of the military with said draft, you'd also have to increase the number of bases and military units. This would require more equipment, be it personal, team or unit, and more funds for everything. You'd need to shift experienced people to these new units, and have them train up the NUGs (new useless guys). This is not a trivial undertaking.

In short, a lot would have to happen, and there's no sign of any of it happening now. Even if the signs started to appear, it would take years to start units from scratch and make them combat effective by today's standards.

(p.s. I for one am glad you didn't get the T-shirt. Every time I see a 'Who's your Bagh-daddy' T-shirt, I feel embarassed for the guy wearing it.)
