Your friend is a partisan idiot (politically)! Sorry for the harshness (I speak only of his political comprehension), but his thoughts are so uninformed.
The REAL UNWASHED TRUTH AS TO WHY THE DRAFT WILL NEVER BE REINSTAED IS... The Military does not want to have to try to train, and then promptly fail, mass numbers of draftees. Their budgets are stretched thin already. This would become very EXPENSIVE.
Today's volunteers KNOW what they want, are HIGHLY motivated, technologically savvy, and quickly trained into an effective combat force. THEY WANT TO BE IN THE MILITARY. THEY GET IT!!! Reference the Army's re-enlistment numbers beating expectations, in figures released last Thursday.
If a draft were reinstated, 50% of the dregs of society would fail, after an attempt at training. Lawsuits would be filed to lower the entrance requirements, when a huge number of worthless, spineless, liberal, moore-loving, Bush hating slime devils failed... after blaming the "current rules" for their own shortcomings. This is the "primordial soup" that is the building block of the dim party.
Of course, the Military says the same thing in a much more PC way of wording. The bottom line remains the same.

--- Exactly. In fact, I'm in the Air Force, and we're going to start turning people AWAY in 2005! What people don't realize is that the number of people wqho get out due to the high ops tempo of war is replaced by the surge in patriotism due to the war.
