1) A draft has many benefits, and while many people say military service is horrible, that's almost slavery, many people find lifelong friends in the military, they gain more understanding of the world around them, gain a strong work ethic and sense of responsibility. The military is also paid pretty well considering room, board, and basically everything else is taken care of. (I'm still for giving our soldiers a pay raise however.)
2) No. It's been done before, and it's part of being a soldier.
3) No, unless we go to war with China, or WWIII starts (would actually probably be the same thing). The main problem about implementing the draft right now is that it would be career suicide.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
