His main characterization of a drafted army revolves around the "frag the officers" theme.

Oh, yup. My point was just that a draft today would hit the middle + classes a lot more than it did through most of Vietnam, because the nice "college" dodge was already legislated away in the early '70s. The new college-boy draftees would still almost certainly be resentful and unproductive, probably even moreso.
