to try and salvage this thread I will give you the first intelligent answer.

The draft isn't something people want to start, but it is necessary when the country is in a major war which endangers your way of life (ie. WWI, WWII); I would give up freedoms for a little while to destroy the enemy and ensure that my family would be free for generations.

'Nam was not such a war (the VC couldn't harm us outside of Vietnam no matter how hard they tried); which is why there was much resentment over the draft.
Same goes for if there will be a draft for Iraq (which in unlikely).
