With conscription there would be no need to draft them. We’d leave ourselves open to the absurdity of drafting cheerleaders while the fullbacks stay home. We’d have the opportunity to reverse the sexual integration of units, remove the romantic element and also raise physical fitness standards.

Clerks? Everybody needs to be able to reconstitute and fight as infantry. https://www.amazon.com/This-Kind-War-Fiftieth-Anniversary/dp/1574883348

Why would you want to put the romantic element on the combat team when a draft would provided all the men you need into the Army. We don't draft people into the Navy or Air Force but there would be an incentive to join as there was up to 1973.
