Yes.
Not only should we but we should end the student exemption so all people between 18 and 45 are eligible to be drafted.
It's the only way to make people care about war. As it stands the government and it's corrupt politicians can feel justified in fighting undeclared wars and wasting the lives of our brave soldiers on political games of brinksmanship. After all soldiers are volunteers so it's easy to rationalize and weigh the costs of their lives against political gains.
If the draft was reinstated and 100% inclusive of men and women our so called leaders would be a little less likely to send young men and women to their deaths in undeclared wars against countries that pose no threat to our national security because we would all be in the line of fire.

Bring it back and stipulate that all eligible children of Congressmen and Senator's are the first to go.

There are no guarantees when you enlist
You of all people should know this.
Actually, you can have an AFSC slot guaranteed when you enlist, unless you wash out.
But what's guaranteed when you enlist, ins't the matter.
The point is to make so those in charge of sending us to fight are damned sure it's worth it when they do.

No. Try raising Pay and Benefits if there is an enlistment problem. Restrict Presidential Authority if there is an abuse of Power, regarding what we get involved in. At some point, real wars should be declared, officially.
Is there a war going on?
~S~
2 for the past 10 years and I'll guarantee there's at least one more on the horizon in the next 5.
Yes, and for the conscientious objectors, service to the nation in some other way.
The problem with a draft is that it is more difficult for a president to invade nations without good cause. At least that should have been the lesson we learned from Vietnam. With a volunteer army the president has much greater latitude to create small presidential type wars.

Iraq and Afghanistan are small presidential type wars? You are a complete idiot. Your thoughts are delusional.
Why is it that all the experts on war have never set foot on a field of battle?
One important lesson that you are clueless about was this nations failure to separate the warrior from the Vietnam from the War.
This has not happened again. Those of us who fought in Vietnam have not permitted it to.

It is service member's duty to refuse an unlawful order. However, all orders are presumed lawful, and anyone who refuses an order has to show it was unlawful. But it is NOT the individual's right to interpret the Constitution or the law to determine whether an order is unlawful.This made me think about something. If a soldier takes an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution and is given an unconstitutional order (Or perhapse and unconstitutional order based on an unconstitutional resolution thta was passed), is it not his obligation to refuse the order?
That you believe something to be unconstitutional does not make it so, nor would it give you the right to disobey. The courts have long ago ruled that accepting an individual interpretation of lawfulness like that would lead to chaos.Then this gets you into the realm of the War Powers Resolution..(Which I believe is an unconstitutional resolution.)
