There is only one valid reason for a draft and that is to ensure that the privileged classes "contribute" their fair share. :-}

And while conscription has a long and checkered life in America, the volunteer Army is by far the best way to go.

The draft would face immediate challenge in court, if it's not there already on legitimacy as it only requires men to serve. This is completely contradictory of everything we are told about the essential equality of the sexes in the last 30 years. For a draft to be legitimate at this point it would need to include women. Of course that would leave the 10 million illegal aliens and the 10 million recent legal green card holders with all the high paying jobs, while the natives went to secure their freedom for them.

Also the "don't ask don't tell" ban would have to be dropped, other wise a lot of resistors would simply "tell" whether it was true or not. There is almost no stigma in being a homosexual anymore, so it would provide an easy out if the current policy is maintained.

I don't see these changes as possible, so I don't see a draft as possible.
