Real short ~ the United States should pay for the military service it uses.

With a draftee there's always the tendency of Congress to fail to pay him ~

I lost many tens of thousands of dollars in civilian income while in the military, and when I returned to my job I found promotion approximately 10 times as hard to get as my leftwing compatriots who seemed to have had no difficulty evading the draft. I lost more tens of thousands of dollars paying "catch up" and when I retired, I had to pay another thousand just to get my service time counted ~ although when I was first employed and when I went into the military that service time was automatically counted.

I see no reason to ressurrect a system that allowes politicians like Charles Rangal to screw young men.

Real short...

If Congress only used draftees for their staff, we would have the government we could afford.

LOL -- Charlie Rangel's desire to screw young men far exceeds that of Mark Foley....
