Instituting a draft today would be political suicide. Too many Americans have no direct connection to the military.

@Crazywaterspring Yeah, the only way a draft will happen is if we're under direct threat from another country. Most Americans would support a war for self-defense, but that's it.

@BohemianBabe The oligarths who own and run the US love wars. The public would push back when their kid, or someone they know, is drafted to fight some pointless war for profit.
