Hi,

From being drafted to being combat ready takes a minimum of about six months. And that is for "easier" tasks. I don't see either conflict lasting that long.

The only potential for a draft is if somehow the USA gets itself into another Vietnam situation. A political war, with poorly defined objectives, bad ROE, and reactive rather than proactive policies. In a real war, that combination is the kiss of death. Since we're already engaged in two phony wars of that type (drugs and terrorism), perhaps we can avoid a third.
