The Draft was a mistake in WWII in my opinion. It certainly was not necessary to the winning of the war.
Actually, in my opinion, conscription is always a mistake. Slavery is not any better a thing because it is in the service of the nation.
And militia service, restricted in time and location, is significantly different from conscription that sends men to foreign lands "for the duration".
