ANNOUNCER: Ryan Harvey from Palm Harbor, Florida, asks, "Is it possible this conflict will eventually result in a military draft?"</s>MAJ. GEN. DON SHEPPERD (RET.), CNN MILITARY ANALYST: Right now, we certainly don't need the draft. We did away with the draft, of course, after Vietnam, and we have plenty of people in the military right now. The other thing about the draft is if you reinstitute the draft now with women in combat does that also apply to women? There's another issue that's very interesting in this. But right now, there's no indication that we need the draft. I simply don't anticipate anywhere in the near future.
