It looks like I am above the cutoff age for a potential draft. Though I suppose that is not a sure bet in a full blown war where they want as many men as possible.
Even if a draft were to go through and every man complies without resistance, it still would not yield good results, as a demoralized population does not make for a great fighting force. Forcing all young men to serve will do little good when the motivation to fight is severely lacking.
