So many easily forget, that almost 18,000 draftees gave their lives fighting in Vietnam.

The greatest of sacrifices in service our Nation.

Saying a draft isn't a good model to staff the US Military under the current circumstances should not be construed as a slight on the honor of anyone in the past who served this country as a draftee.

Yeah, poll active duty personnel and see if they want draftees working along side them.

But that is what you implied. What current circumstances? Many commanders have called for more troops to alleviate multiple tours etc. It's not a secret our military is spread too thin.
