That only reason there is no serious anti-war movement is because there is no draft.

If the draft comes back, it will get ugly.

When something is working, why fix it?

Nope, only reason there was an anti war movement in Vietnam was because not the draft, but the KGB actively organizing and spearheading it.

And far more "protestors" in the 60s and 70s were way more about getting high and laid than worried about the war.

The draft could be needed if we suffer a WMD attack. It certainly worked in WWII. I would not agree with the draft unless it was in a serious response to the survivability of our nation as it was in WWII. A lot of volunteers would come from middle America and the south. The draft would have to focus on NY, LA, Miami, New Orleans, etc. The refuge of the liberals that would be hiding under their beds praying for America to fall. Let someone shoot at them and see if they still hate our country.
