Should the U.S. be better prepared to reinstate military conscription?

I think we need to look at the Israeli model with respect to women before we decide on that. As for conscription, there are too many in our country who take their freedom for granted. Maybe this would be a good wake up call.

I don't think anyone should be forced to go to war. And the only reason women aren't required to sign up for the Selective Service is because Congress hasn't changed the law since combat exclusion was repealed. I say if you will want a draft, then require women to sign up as the only reason we were exempt is combat exclusion and the draft was intended to fill combat roles first. Now that we can be in any MOS, go ahead. But ultimately no one should be forced to war.
And no Charlie - it wouldn't be a "good wake up call."
