I'll join ya on the conscription issue only as far as I've heard many a career soldier indicate a preference for a volunteer by their sides in a shootout. In a duck-and-cover situation, they want someone who'll cover them, not just duck. However, I do favor a National Service mandate that gets the idea of participatory democracy across to many who take-for-granted what has been hard won. A bit of Peace Corps, CCC, VISTA, military, Americorps tossed together in a pot to pursue national objectives in foreign policy, domestic policy and infrastructure upkeep, open to all genders, ethnicities and faiths... A 2 year minimum requirement. Yup. It provides plenty of choice within the confines of a real life expectation that freedom is never free of responsibility.
