To fight what nation?
One more point: Today's technology doesn't need a draft. In Vietnam, for one example in 1965; approximately 900 USAF modern jet fighter bombers tried unsuccessfully to drop (destroy) a bridge in two days; they dropped THOUSANDS of tons of bombs on that particular target to no avail...and at a cost of several jets and airmen.
Today, that very same type of target can be destroyed with one UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle); or at worst one hi-tech 21st century aircraft unloading a smart weapon at it.
Necessary manpower comparisons: The Vietnam era example used 1,800 potential draftees, using the two man F4 Phantom II as an example (most pilots were draft induced volunteers during the Vietnam War). The 21st century example used "0" human lives and with the "worst" case scenario of a modern 21st century aircraft unloading a smart weapon...that would've been one to two persons.
Bottom line: Why draft when none to 2 people can do the job that 1,800 men used to be needed to do?

Is a draft in the us necessary?
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.
