Whether or not there should be a draft (i.e. military conscription) in the US is a matter of debate. Many people argue that in modern times, due to the relatively high number of people who voluntarily enlist in the military, a draft is not necessary. Others argue that at least some conscription is good in case a large conflict starts suddenly, requiring very large numbers of men to be deployed.
The US government does have the ability to begin conscription during a war, should it become necessary. At present, the US military is an all-volunteer force, and has been since 1973. The Selective Service System is still maintained, just in case of the unlikely situation that a draft becomes necessary.
