it is the resumption of an involuntary-service draft with draftees going
into the armed forces.

I blieve he proposed something like a national service
program, you serve your country for a couple of years (not
necesarily in the military) and you get a college
education paid for. Some sort of loan where you work for
it. Whether that is called a "draft" is highly debatable.

He proposed a draft so that politicians (whose own kids
would also be elligible for military service) would be far
more cautious when waging war. It is always easier when
somebody else's kids are doing the dying to go gun ho.
