Will the United States ever have a draft?

The only way I think there will ever be draft is when WW3 happens, but if WW3 happens...it will probably be nuclear. Maybe they make it were you have to serve 2 years in the military like alot of countries. But countries that make you join the military are countries under the threat of war... Israel from the Middle East, Taiwan from China, South Korea from North Korea. If draft really does get implemented, that means the whole world will be at war.
The military is still downsizing so, a draft in the near future is unlikely. Currently, the number of people looking to enter the military is such that the military is raising the bar in their requirements. I was a Fire Control Tech maintaining surface and air action radar systems and their peripheral equipment. A HS diploma was all that was needed to get into that rating when I entered the service. Today, the same rating demands an associates degree or higher to get your foot in the door.
Add to the number of military entrants those that are having a difficult time securing employment in the current economy and the inevitability of a draft needed to fill the ranks becomes even more remote.

Nope, Canada will be on the side of U.S. Best place to move to is Switzerland but they have mandatory military service, I think for Woman also. Switzerland is the most armed nation in the world. When they are done serving their country, they get to keep all equipments(rifle, pistol, and uniform). Every single Swiss citizen is trained and armed for war.

The only reason we need draft is when world war happens and we have 2 fronts or more to fight. Mandatory service is good idea, but this is America and you should have the right to choose to join the military or not.
If world war breaks out it wont b nuclear I can guarantee that. First person to use a nuke gets ruined for good. Due to invasiona and enemy nukes plus no one wants to look like a bad guy in the war. Exactly why we and russia didn't nuke each other. And yes probly a world war will draw a draft. But military sizes are growing and eventually will drop.
