What would be the point?

Liberals and anybody else that did not want to be serve would ignore their call up, burn their draft cards etc. all with the blessing of the democrat establishment and while being egged on by the media. Their would be no penalties enforced on the draft dodgers for fear of angering the populace and as soon as the conflict was over the dodgers would be pardoned...

So essentially, even with a draft, military service would still be "voluntary"...

Wouldn't be the worst of ideas if only those who serve would then be eligible to vote from that point on.

A draft would just be gasoline that Lefties could add to their antiwar fire.
