As the title suggests. I will do what my country asks of me but I won't like it.
Rep Charles Rangel may be currect, that if we want to finish Iraq, Fight Iran & Korea then yes we will need a draft. I have to ask the big question. WHY do we have to fight Iran and Korea? What the hell did they do, other than Anti-American sentament & Nuclear Proliferation. I agree that they shouldn't have the power, but why should we for that matter?
I don't like a draft but oh well if it happens I will serve.
Check out this article from CNN.

Your attitude to a draft is commendable. We need more like you and your parents should be proud. There is little historical support that volunteers perform any differently than conscripts. All soldiers do better when they believe in what they are doing. Check out the results of the First Comprehensive National Survey on the Draft
According to the survey:
-- 32 % seek deferment
-- 20 % would seek deferment
-- 43 % of draft age Americans, say they would serve.
-- 32 % of parents would want their child to avoid serving
-- 08 % percent would encourage child to seek deferment
-- 71 % of Americans are concerned about the capacity of the military to meet overseas' commitments and defend the United States from attack.
-- 58 % are concerned about the possibility that the United States could be headed for a military draft in the near future.
-- 51 % of Americans believe that the war in Iraq was not worth the cost.
-- 63 % say that the draft is likely to be reinstated if there was another terrorist attack on U.S. soil;
-- 65 % say likely if terrorist cells spread and troops are needed to prevent future attacks;
-- 76% say likely if two or more of these events occur at the same time.
-- 71% said women would be included
-- 65 % said it would allow for student deferrals
