lol I think i'll wait just a little on the treaty thing especially since if I were to do it I would wanna be president but that will NEVER happen cuz some people are stupid and say you have to be BORN in the country. HELLO!!!!!!!! I HAVE LIVED MY WHOLE LIFE HERE EXCEPT FOR 5 WEEKS I THINK THAT'S OK! but anyway I see what you mean but I kinda disagree cuz if others need our help why can't we go help them? maybe in the future they will help us to return the favor.

WE should go help them, but the question is should we draft more soldiers to the army if it is only to help another country. That is true that maybe if we need help in the future a country will remember that we helped them and help us out.
But I think I agree with bad-monkey; that is If what I thought he meant was right.
If we are in need of more soldiers to defend out own country then we should definitely use a draft because it makes perfect sense to use our own civilians to defend themselves (we draft them). We use those who volunteered for the army if we need to help out another country in need, because then we are only using those who want to help others, see?
From now on this is my official stance on this topic, unless someone changes my mind.

He might mean that if you have a drug addiction you won't get drafted, but IDK he is a very weird person.

yeah... what does that have to do with military draft?
back to the topic now, I vote military draft if we need it.
If china used a military draft, they would be the most powerful country in the world.

If china used a military draft, they would be the most powerful country in the world. Not exactly, they lack the recources, technology and expierence needed to be a military might.

Maybe, but they would have sheer numbers on their side. I bet they could do some serious damage with all the extra infantry in a war.

Mkay.... Lobs, China DOES use a conscription program. Chica, you actually could be drafted should the draft come back, as women play a large enough role in the military now so that they would, in fact be included. (our senators and president have said so)
In my opinion, we should not have a draft. It is very clear that 49% of America does not believe in our current war, so why should they die for something they don't believe in? I wouldn't. Besides, who's gonna attack us? North Korea's more concerned with South Korea, Al Ouieda is currently in hiding, China's not that nuts and Saddam's out of power. So who's gonna attack us? Belarus? I think not.

Yeah, but one of the questions we've already brought up is whether or not to use a draft if an ally is in danger.
