A volunteer army is a good way to fence the impact on war around the lower economic classes so that the people whose will have a larger impact on the country's overall politics are not impacted by a war directly.
Institute draft and the next thing you know, middle class kids will be called up (like what happened during Vietnam) and they will not be happy about it, and it is very hard to conduct a war when you also have to struggle with people with the financial means to fight back against your livelihood (which is, fighting a war).
