That's exactly what you are asking for just to make your political point. we are going to war. And the we is inclusive of all US citizens. Without the draft, you essentially have a mercenary armed services, made up of those that like armed services life (or are not trained for other options). You are paying a guy with your taxes (or in this administrations case with your deficits) to take your place on the battlefield. It's a mercenary army, not a citizens army. want to go as your patriotic duty? Would you still support the war? I don't want you to answer those questions to me, but you should answer them to yourself. If the answer is "no" to either question, then you ought to rethink your support of the war.
