As I recall from the book (it’s been thirty or so years), the term ‘citizenship’ being used here really stands for ‘the franchise.’

Did not the inhabitants of the country who chose not to serve nevertheless enjoy all the other rights and protections of citizenship, the one exception being the franchise?

Then those who don’t serve should not be paying taxes either.
