Yes, we need a draft, but not specifically a military draft. Both men and women should be required to do two years service in either the military or a government organization like AmeriCorps, Peace Corps, etc.
Today's "utes" don't have a clue how great this country really is, so a further requirement would be to serve at least six months in a foreign country - preferably, third world.

Socialist crap.

In the American system, we already have "national service" -- the GET A JOB program.
