[Simon Green]

“I also think there are prices too high to pay to save the United States. Conscription is one of them. Conscription is slavery, and I don't think that any people or nation has a right to save itself at the price of slavery for anyone, no matter what name it is called. We have had the draft for twenty years now; I think this is shameful. If a country can't save itself through the volunteer service of its own free people, then I say: Let the damned thing go down the drain!” ― Robert A. Heinlein

I was a draftee....every able bodied person enjoys the freedom of this country. While I much prefer a voluntary force in extraordinary times some will be called to serve when needed. It is neither new nor uncommon. It is the price of freedom!!!
