Exactly.

It's all about scare tactics.

Giving the newer "high tech" nature of our military,
the much longer training cycles,
the physical condition of our couch potato 18-35 year olds,
and the relative ease with which judges would grant
Conscientous Objector status...
not mush point to having the draft.

With each war, the draft has become less and less of a useful tool for the US military.
