McCain is a dumbass. Voting for “mandatory volunteerism” is voting for “involuntary servitude”.

I'm glad you mentioned "involuntary servitude". Here is the full text of the 13th Amendment:

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

There is only ONE instance in which it is legal for involuntary servitude to exist w/in the US, & it is spelled out right here (punishment for a crime). What crimes have these young people committed?

Shouldn't this also include the prohibition of a military draft, which I believe is a form of involuntary servitude?
