If you think "it can't happen here", with regards to a draft, you're an idiot who has their head in the sand. Too many "it can't happen here" things have been happening.

    It would bankrupt the country to add people we don't need... It would be like a sports team paying to have 10x the players and not be able to put any of them on the field.

    Creating a draft would drive voters to increase the pay and benefits of soldiers as well.

    So yes it could happen. But it is a near 0% chance of happening.
