The draft would tie our hands as the president can dispatch volunteers where he needs them more easily than draftees. If there aren't enough volunteer soldiers than he could use mercanaries given all the mountains in Afghanistan I recommend hiring all the Gurkhas he can find.

President Harry S. Truman didn't have any problem dispatching draftees (including me) to Korea. And nobody complained.
