1. When is the draft ever a good idea? If a country cannot find volunteers to do the work of the noble then maybe the idea isn't as noble as the country thinks. When as anything "compulsory" been a good idea? Especially something compulsory on the same level as serving in the military?
2. Nope. Even Guardsmen and Reservists volunteered for their role. They may not have appreciated the scope, but they volunteered all the same. Not to say that I don't empathize with the mixed up schedules and long tours, but such is the life of a journeyman soldier.
3. I seriously doubt it, but then again stranger things have happened. And, like it was pointed out, the draft boards are being re-established....and I find it hard to believe that our government does anything "semi-regularly" other than vote themselves raises.
