Quote from Lieutenant General Douglas Lute:
"And I can tell you, this has always been an option on the table. But ultimately, this is a policy matter between meeting the demands for the nation's security by one means or another"

It's my opinion that draftees make lousy soldiers, are a drain on our military budget, are typically insubordinate, and are in too many ways to list here a great way to reduce our combat effectiveness in an awful hurry, the exact opposite of what we'd need in a crisis.
Also, to be fair to Lieutenant General Lute, he did not speak out in favor of the draft, and echoed the opinion that our volunteer military was doing a good job. He merely said that it was an option worth considering.
I tend to disagree with this. But, I see things from my own point of view. What do you think?
