Gee, a lot of us in the 60's thought the draft sucked, too -- but it didn't seem to matter.

The problem with waiting for a major conflict before instituting a draft is that it takes a long time to gear up to begin the process -- then the draftees must be trained (basic, AIT, etc.) and by the time the first draftees enter the pipeline, probably at least a year has passed.

Unfortunately, for the draft to be effective, it must be ongoing.
