That man is incapable of thinking beyond that, somebody dissed him, lets drop a dozen nukes on him.

The rich and powerful won't be drafted, so the really important people won't be at risk.

but it won't get apathetic people to go out and vote.
If you're hot for the draft, you're just going to have to wait about 20 years longer. Too many of us remember what a draft was like, what it did, and what it did not do. It didn't make rich men's sons serve in the armed forces and it didn't make people vote.
