It seems like a rather perverse take on the political system to consciously delay a draft until after being reelected. If people are as opposed to a draft as you lot suggest they will be, wouldn't there be enough of an outcry in opposition that, post-election or not, it wouldn't get very far?

This is, after all, a democracy; the government isn't generally supposed to force people to go die in some foreign country against their will and against the majority of the country's desires.
