Do the pro-draft people think that the military wants conscripts? Are they willing to embrace slavery and simultaneous reduce our military capabilities all in the name of "fairness"? Fitness issues among candidates could be are are currently weeded out pretty easily, but it doesn't take a military expert to see that people who have self-selected for service are going to do the job better. Short of absolutely monstrous war, like WWII, when the government needs absolutely as many bodies in theater as possible, conscription is the worst possible way to assemble an effective force.
