It won't be reinstated for the simple reason that NO ONE in the military WANTS it reinstated. The quality of our armed forces is so much better because they are all volunteers. The pentagon brass do not want to go back to the days of training and equipping a bunch of people who don't want to be in the service only to have them exit the military when their 24 months are over. It's expensive. It makes for an inferior force. And, they're not having much of a problem recruiting now. The Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and Air Force actually have a surplus of troops. It's only the Army that is currently not bringing in record numbers, but they're still okay. This is a non-issue.
