Personally, I have a hard time believing the President in most of what he says, as he has proven on multiple fronts that he is undeserving of my trust. That said, I see little alternative to the Draft becoming reality in the near future, if we continue to become entrenched in warfare. All indications from this administration point towards more military action, which will entail more personnel (if just to replace the losses through death in combat) and it is unlikely, in the current atmosphere of unprovoked invasion that many will enlist without a compelling reason.
We have reached the point where , even the poorest of our population will choose alternatives to military service, and this has been the primary enlistment group for many years. I do not see many alternatives to the draft in the future, but I may simply be Naive, and be blind to some obvious future choice.
