I don't like the idea of a draft, for many of the reasons that have already been stated. A mandatory one- or two-year period of military service would be a better approach, IMO. You could possibly allow young men and women who want to go to college right out of high school to defer their service until they've completed college; that way, you get more skilled people, although that could cause problems too.
I recently learned something very interesting: Apparently, in New York State, if you are a male between the ages of 18 to 24, and you get or renew your driver's license, the DMV turns your name over to the Selective Service. (I haven't been able to verify this, though.)
