as a person who wears the uniform everyday... the last thing i want is to lead troops who don't want to be there. it is my opinion that a draft should be instituted only when our fundamental national survival is at stake. if congress wants our military to continue at this frenetic pace (the reserve is now on a schedule that exceeds 24 month deployments)... we really need to rethink our force size/structure.
