The draft talk is just a bunch of nonsense to stir people up.

It's not going to happen. Not in the society we have now.

Also like someone else has pointed out, its not needed.

We don't fight wars a la WWII anymore. We don't need that much personnel.

I do, however, believe that all youths should be forced to perform two years of government service at their 18th birthdays. This doesn't mean military, but to serve, in some capacity, in the government. Ideally in a field that mirrors their professional interests as well. This would alleviate a lot of government spending as the roles would be filled for much cheaper. It would give the youth a sense of investment in the wellbeing of their country.

There are tons of reasons to do it.
I totally agree
