I doubt it. We have no need for millions of men in the armed forces. Besides, women would have to be drafted also, and that would be too divisive so the Administration wouldn't want to open that can of worms at this time.

We've got millions of young men and women who have honed their mental and visual reflexes for years playing ever more complicated video games.

Add to that their insensitivity to death and destruction which the games instill and I'd say that we've got potentially the most vicious and relentless warrior class in history.

In a high-tech shooting war, our teenagers would reek total annihilation against any distant enemy.

Women have to be drafted also? Says who?

They don't have to register and we would not need to draft them.
