How many would answer the call for a US draft?

If America had actually been attacked by a country with a sizable army like China, then I might agree that a draft could be an option. But Iran? Come on. The only reason we WOULD need a draft to deal with Iran is because we have squandered our military resources in Iraq.

Vietnam is a tiny country with a weak army and yet the United States could not handle it without a draft ... Whether a draft is necessary or not would really depend on how many nations would use a war in Iran as a proxy to fight the United States.

If USA had actually been FIGHTING a war with Vietnam, there wouldn't BE a Vietnam. We were holding a line while Vietnam used whatever guerilla tactics they wanted.

Oh, and I wouldn't answer the draft, I'd enlist in airforce when I heard it was being instated. I liked how their setup sounded the best out of 4 standard groups (Army, Navy, Marines & Airforce)

Also yeah, nobody would ever reinstate the draft anyway. The only time you'd have issues with having enough people in the army is if you had a liberal in presidency, and if a liberal reinstated the draft it would be utter political suicide for them and possibly their entire party. A conservative would still get backlash from it, but it wouldn't get the same type of backlash unless you counted how the media would be screeching over it and making references to vietnam like they do for every war.
