For the actual topic in question: I come from a military family myself and we always planned with the idea of a draft in mind when it came to the Iraq war. I would not enlist if the situation was as it is now. I don't feel the current wars are a necessity and therefore would only serve in a draft if my lot was called. Were the actual country in direct danger or a situation that we couldn't possibly ignore were to occur such as WW2 then yes I would enlist. And I think both my parents (one a conservative marine and the other a liberal from the navy) would support that decision, and therefore I feel confident that it is the right choice.
