"A newly released poll by the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation found 58 percent of the respondents concerned that the draft could be revived in the near future, and 55 percent of the high-school students surveyed by the Horatio Alger Association said they believe there will be a draft in their lifetime."
"The VVAF poll found that only 43 percent of draft-age Americans would be willing to comply if the draft were reinstated. Perhaps even more surprising, it found that fewer than half the parents surveyed would want their child to serve."

If Bush is re-electedand then manages to get us into more wars, as he seems likely to do, then the draft probably will have to be reinstated.
