Yes, of course. We haven’t drafted anyone since 1973.

There has been no draft since 1973 is correct. I do not wish to see the SSS go away, you never know.

Things were so bad during the late 60s when I enlisted they had to draft to fill positions in the Marines. I don’t think anyone ever thought that would happen. So while no one sees any need for a draft today, except the professional military people, does that mean we just do in the machinery to kick one off again? I think not especially given the rate we are hollowing out our active duty cadre now.
