Without question the morale of a volunteer army is much better than a drafted one. However, the whole point of the draft is that there are not enough volunteers in the military. We either expand the number of troops or lose.

I don't really buy the argument that if our administration was doing a good job then we would have an abundant supply of volunteers. I firmly believe in what the president is doing with the military; but you're not going to see me drop out of college and voluntarily enroll without a draft. The parents are paying for college now, who knows what happens 5 years down the road when I return from duty. I guess the argument could be made that I could just drop out of college then enroll and use the money I get from the goverment to finance my education. Military service isn't my calling in life, but that doesn't mean during desperate times I won't perform some type of military duty. Volunteer military service is for people who: need the money for college, is a familly tradition, or are bored with the working a minimum wage job after leaving high school.

Since I fall under none of those categories, I currently attend college.
