A draft doesn't have to be limited to military personnel. Draftees good be put into police departments, federal or state forest services, the Border Patrol, Homeland Security, TSA, etc.

Of course. Government can force people to do a lot of things, and a lot of jobs, if government assumes dictatorial control over people's lives. They did it in the Soviet Union for 70 years - telling people what jobs they had to take for the "good of the fatherland."

"A draft doesn't have to be limited to military personnel."
I disagree. If the government is going to coerce people to put their lives on the line, all draftees should have to take the same risk. I am not in favor of a draft, but if there is one, there should be no exceptions. Let's have no more Vietnam crap, where good young kids get killed and we get stuck 30 years later with Bill Clinton.

If they are educated enough to be competent at those or any jobs, why do they need a promise of "educational benefits"?

The last thing we need is draftees.
