U.S. Constitution: Thirteenth Amendment - Slavery And Involuntary Servitude
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Explain how you justify a compulsary military/national-service draft as Constitutional.

Well, for one thing, I don't consider it to be slavery or involuntary servitude. I'd consider it an honor.

I am neither a lawyer, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, however I am virtually certain that the Supreme Court has ruled that conscription is not involuntary servitude under the Thirteenth Amendment, since the service members are paid wages.
