One point of view that may make things a little easier to swallow a military draft in this century...

If every child/teen was conscripted...including sons and daughters of the rich and powerful, and everybody had the same risks, do you think Congress and the President would be so quick to authorize military force?

Which, strangely enough, represents the opposite problem. Failure to act promptly. For worry of a child a kingdom was lost.
