Answer preview

Significant benefits will be reaped from the new draft. Individuals with professional skills in technology, medicine, engineering, science, and mathematics will be adopted into the system without age or sex. It will also improve the attitude of young men as they join the military deliberately without being forced. It will be more feasible to induct any gender as mobilization becomes specialties-oriented. Accountability and personnel management in the army will also improve significantly. The new draft will strengthen the marketing and recruitment procedure. This will eventually expand the national services, and security threats will no longer be threats in America.
