I think a draft is much less likely now than say twenty years ago because the administration, any current administration, has done so much damage to its credibility that people just can't get behind the person asking them to risk their lives.
The country has shifted into a more decadent frame of mind. I don't mean that in a necessarily negative way, but just to say that people have shifted more to a self focused frame of mind than an American frame of mind. It's hard to relate to the people who govern us any more.
