In the old days, the aristocrats were on the battlefronts, along with every conscripts they could take. As a result war was a much more serious matter. Making the wrong call could cause the demise of a dynasty or at least bring very personal losses. I am in favor of mandating both. Bring back the draft, but also mandate that the 1st and 2nd relatives of congress members should be part of the force. If a congressman does not want to see his grandchildren or children in the war, he should not want it for others either.
