Yeah, the military draft worked great in the Vietnam War, didn't it?

The rich kids such as Dan Quayle and Donald Trump did not get drafted. George W. Bush got a choice job in the Air Guard.

The draftees were mostly high school grads or less and minorities. Those that did get drafted usually went kicking and screaming.

If a 100 percent military draft was ever in place where every 18-21 year old would be required to serve, that would be excellent- but that is not going to happen.
