My point was at least half or more of the US population has little-to-no-memory of what that was like.
My dad was drafted during the Vietnam era but I'm in my 50's and have no actual memory of that time.
I know it happened but I was really young when they stopped the draft and we've had several generations born since then who also have no memory of it.
It would be politically dangerous for a government to restart a draft absent an actual world war-type situation or a dictatorship.

It's 5 years and statutory evidently. This isn't as bad as you're making it out to be.
