Like it stopped our involvement in WW1, Korea and Vietnam?

The draft wasn’t even popular back when people thought everyone loved it.

No, it wasn’t popular, but then again we weren’t running around being the world’s police force either.

Back during the draft it actually took an act of congress to get involved in a war, not just done on a whim as today. (Does Libya, Bosnia, and soon to be Syria sound familiar?)
