have a citizen army. Think National Guard & Reserves. At any rate, the draft is the wrong way to have one. it subordinates the rights of the individual citizen to the demands of the government. It enabled that great Democrat, Lyndon Johnson, to prosecute the Vietnam War long past the time when his incompetence had managed to lose it.
