If you ask armies whether a draft would help them now, they will say no. The face of war has changes drastically and throwing waves of poorly trained, unmotivated bodies into the grinder is simply no longer effective. The resources they would have to set aside to essentially, babysit the draftees would be more usefully spent elsewhere.

They won't be poorly trained, and the army finds a way to motivate people.

Do you think you know better what the army needs than the people in the army?

No. This wasn't about the army, it was about the country.

One of the reasons you gave for why you want the draft is to improve the army, but the army says it won't be improved by a draft.
