Actually it makes for a more diversified military, granted most of the draftees wouldn't stay in past their required time. (2 years) If they want to do something that has a lot of training then they would have to serve for 2 years beyond the technical training, that way they don't go in and just spend all their time in schooling and only have 6 months left at the end of their school. My GI bill just gave me a set amount of dollars to use towards school as I saw fit when I got out. It was the equivalent of 1 or 1.5 months of benefit for every month of service I don't remember it's been so long. My test scores qualified me to go to the Naval Academy, which I had already turned down in my senior year in high school so I didn't do that in boot camp, and I also was asked to go to OCS (Officer Candidate School) which I turned down. The Academy required 6 years after graduation, and OCS required two years after completion, (school lasted about 3-4 months at that time) about enough time to 1st Lt. Had I gone I would probably be retired now as a Colonel, but it was not the life for me. I watched my Old Man live his life by the Air Force for 30 years. I was a service kid, lived on the bases in a lot of places and lived out on the economy as well, but I never made a lot of friends. I still don't.
