A draft could work only if you arm and train the average American, so that in event of a draft we have a bunch of people who know what they're actually doing. Liberals would never let the militarization of our society happen though, so we can only give untrained/poorly trained people a gun and scoot them out to fight the enemy. That doesn't really work unless you're China.

I'll try to respond without acknowledging the incredibly misogynistic first paragraph by saying that you would probably be surprised that front line troops make up a small minority of the Army. The rest are devoted to support roles like fuels, transportation, services.
There are over 200 jobs in the Army, a small number of which are combat. Misconceptions like this and "if someone drafts me, that means I'm being sent to Iraq" and such annoy me...
