Reinstituting the draft will engender domestic unrest UNLESS the draft is initiated in response to some clearly cataclysmic event such as that which brought this nation together a la Pearl Harbor. Unfortunately, we have become so jaded about bad things happeining to us (9-11 brought us together for a week!) that there will have to be something much more dramatic than either event to get this nation behind a draft. Until that happens, our military capacity and effectiveness in the world will continue to erode.
