15. I have 15 nieces and nephews....the oldest of
whom is 25. Only one, so far, has enlisted and she is 18 and in the Marines.

I don't even think the possibility of a draft is on their radar screen.

Five of my nieces and nephews are the children of my one remaining brother who served 21 years in the Army so they would feel obligated. Even though he has said he does not want them enlisting but rather to go to college. He would not object to them going into the military following college because then they would go in as officers rather than as enlisted class.
