Personally, I would rather see universal military or government service instead of a draft. Everyone (men AND women) serves either in the military performs some kind of government service as soon as they turn 18 in order to become eligible for government assistance such as student loans.
No deferments or exceptions except for reasons of health. Conscientious objectors (with reasons that are verifiable) can perform their obligation in some civilian agency such as the Peace Corps/Americorps, or should they elect to serve in the military, perform noncombat tasks such as a medic.
My two cents' worth, before taxes take it all away.
