Your question is comparing apples to oranges.\nThe draft is an emergency-only, time-of-desperate-need usage only option.  That we ONLY have the 'selective service' requirement, and that is only until you are 25 years old, is a great thing compared to other countries.  In many, you are REQUIRED (they don't care what you believe) to serve 2 years in the armed forces, no matter what.\n\nCount your blessings that you are American.
