My problem with the draft really goes back to how it operated in the Vietnam era. There were so many ways to get a deferment, it really seemed to disproportionaltely affect guys who were from a lower place on the socio-economic scale. The guys who couldn't go to college ended up drafted, while the more affluent kids could get deferred. So it was an unfair system, generally. WWII was a bit different, as it involved a total immersion of the nation in war, and military service did not cut through class lines at all. Someone mentioned that the draft would bring better awareness of the military. Unfortunately, if Vietnam is an example, I think it would only bring resentment. The all-volunteer force is the best way to go.
