I wouldn't want my country defended by a bunch of disgruntled slaves of the state. Draftees have no incentive to perform outside of fear of punishment, and that's a very weak motivator for anything beyond minimal performance. The simple fact is, that volunteers aren't in short supply. The military offers enough perks to make it a very viable option to the highschool graduate looking to get ahead in life. Granted, many were simply looking for free college and gambling that there wouldn't actually be a war during their four years (and probably feel gipped now), but a volunteer is a volunteer - the slot is filled. A draft isn't necessary.
