My stance is simple: any politician who votes to bring back conscription should be put to death. If the situation is truly so bad that enslaving people and forcing them to fight and die for their government is an acceptable option, they should have no problem laying down their own lives for the cause.

So the country is in financial difficulty, and we're having to cut back services etc., but instead lets just spend, spend, spend until we're absolutely screwed? 
Now you got it!

And grunting around, wasting money and shooting guns will fix that, right?

Doubt a draft even have a chance to kick off. Something like "Battle for LA" happen then we have militia's, volunteers units, and off the wall name civilian units forming to fight alongside actual military unit.
