He isn’t saying to reinstate the draft, and WWI and WWII were not fought by slaves.
Of course it was. Explain how someone being forced by government to do something, at threat of prison for refusing, is not a slave.
Its the very definition of slavery.
Drafts are slavery and are indecent. They could at least have the decency to use social ostracism instead.
And he does indeed wish for a reinstatement. He just doesn’t think it can happen. That’s a BIG difference from “doesn’t advocate a return”.
“He says he understands that there is no political constituency in the American body politic for such a dramatic reversal—and that military leaders, now accustomed to a level of competency attainable only by a force of professionals, wouldn’t embrace conscription if given the choice”
IE,, “no matter what I think, it really cannot happen in due to politics right now”
