Tony the problem with that is we have found out the hard way that while you can draft a warm breathing body that may have skills needed by the military you cannot draft all of those skills. Sure there are track drivers, carpenters and admin types out there but where are you going to draft a trained gunners mate/tanker/infantryman from? And if they are not trained and competent in their jobs just how many die? Look up the 1st battle of Kasserien Pass where most of our troops were not well trained, or had very low experience levels. Look at the opening days of the Korean War when we were almost driven into the sea.
Sure when they wrote the Constitution and provided for a military they were judging the world by that day. A day when all sailing ahips carried cannon for self defence. Try taking merchant sailors and putting em on a carrier to conduct flight ops with crop dusters. A day when we were isolated from Europe and we whould have known months in advance of an attack. Would have had months to raise an army and prepare. Now you don't have that time cushion. Today when from the word go could have paratroopers on the ground in HOURS. Today about the only way to avoid having a standing military is unacceptable, that would be to pop a small nuke on anyone who messed with us.
