I do not think we need a draft. A draft is only needed in a major war that has high casualties.
What is needed is quality. The Air Force ( Brightest of the group, with the hardest entry test ), Marines, and Navy are top notch. The Army is just so-so
I'd like to see the Army have a special recuritment program for young people who are bright, physically capable, and willing to offer 5-year commitments. Say an extra 50,000 people. As it stand now, the Army accepts too many reject types.
In return, pay these A-list types more than the typical enlistee makes, give them better benefits by offering them a higher initial rank( Private first class or specialists ), and offer free education ( College ) or an apprenticeship on a vocation of their choice after their tour is over.
Currently, the USA has about 500,000 active soldiers, but most of them are support based.

Conscription is different than a draft. Conscription is mandatory service by all able body youth in the military. Israel has it. Switzerland has it. A couple other have it as well.
It would be a 12-18 month requirement which would include 8-12 weeks of basic training. You train to be that support staff and National Guard type duties.
A "professional soldier" would morph into something completely different than today. You would get much higher pay, be expected to enlist for longer time frame, basic training would be longer and you most certainly would NOT be support staff and instead concentrate on front line/war issues. You would also get access to the long-term benefits of being a veteran (the conscripts would not).
It's worth discussing in my opinion.
