Few things here.
1) lol
2) lawl
3) rofl
4) roflmfao
Currently we have the military's Stop Loss program which does not allow a soldier to seperate or retire until the end of thier deployment orders. This keeps our Military Strength of numbers up.
Second, the process of even initiated a draft, in which the past 4 years has almost had a unified vote 400 somthing to 2 or 3 against the draft, I highly doubt it will come about.
Next, the draft has to go through congress, which as above I stated, no one really likes. If it doesn't pass there, then it can't get to the presidents desk for the final veto/ok.
Last, those who have just recently seperated are more than likely in the reserves as the minimum term is 8 years. If you do 6 active, you still have 2 in reserves. During this time, they will bring reservists back into Active Duty with a possible 36-48 month deployment which, with Stop Loss, prevents them from seperating until deployment is complete.
If a Draft is ever put back into place, it's because there is a war on American soil, not because some political mojo who's never been in a War wants one.
Every year people get freaked out because a new draft legislation gets introduced...which is nothing new in the past 15 or so years, just some people find out about it for the first time.
Just to clear some things up.
P.S. If your "friend" really is in Mil. Intel (who should be stripped of rank and given a dishonorable discharge for providing information no matter what it is)....he should already know above info, as with anyone who has ever been in the military, or has access to the internet.

Whats wrong with Mandatory service?
Many European countries do a few years in some form of service and to be honest I think are better for it, chavs and emos get everthing put into perspective and actualy do something.
Mandatory service is not what the public wants. Majority of votes rule....unless they are rigged. You would have to lobby mandatory service for years but, with my above post would purely state, no one in congress wants.
