We need to keep the system in place. I have spent enough time around today's youth to have zero confidence that they will "answer the call."

100% agree. My KIA US Army Infantry Draftee Maternal Grandfather is turning in his grave about now in the Phillipines: http://www.americanbattlegraves.com/index.php?page=directory&rec=46199

Answer which call? I'm curious about the last time there was a war worth drafting Americans into.

"The call," was a quote from the original post by SrA Olsen. And Sir, I don't remember my last car accident, but I wear my seatbelt. I've never been in a house fire, but I own two extinguishers. And I haven't gotten laid in a year, but I'll bet I could scrounge up a condom if I needed it. Planning, preparation, preventative maintenance, preemptive action. These things all help solve small problems...before they become major ones.

We need to keep the draft and expand it to include EVERYONE. Review exemptions and eliminate most of them. Our current standing Armed Forces are not large enough to engage any other substantial operation on any more continents.

Should that really be our goal? Isn't the purpose of our military to support and defend the constitution? Does that really require the capability for multiple simultaneous substantial campaigns on other continents?
