There clearly not plenty of volunteers, that is why the WWII Army was 93% draftees, the draft was needed to get men into ground combat.

The draft has always proven necessary for large wars, it is why we had to accept old 40 something grandmas, for even these small recent wars, we were desperate.

You can continue to play general in the old paradigm but I see where lays the new battlefields. I strongly suggest that no one allow themselves or their kids to be drafted for the future wars of our country as it now functions.
