"I did not serve. How does that change the fact that Mineralman's beliefs are incompatible with freedom? If there was a MILITARY draft I would go willingly. However if anyone of you tried to "draft" me for some other non-military purpose I would put a bullet in each one of your heads."

Here's some info for you. It's not just liberals proposing such universal service:

On December 20, 2001, Representatives Nick Smith (R-MI) and Curt Weldon (R-PA) introduced a bill into the House of Representatives which would require the induction of all young men between the ages of 18-22 into the Armed Forces to receive basic military training and education for a period of up to one year. Young women in this age group would be permitted to volunteer.

I don't see anything in here about the non-military draft you were speaking of. From your previous post:

"Personally, I have no problem whatever with a Universal Service program. It needn't just be the military, but could apply to all sorts of programs.

What would you have me do: Distribute welfare checks? Act as an unpaid worker (slave) for the deficit-ridden post office? Road and bridge construction? Collective farms? This is exactly was the Soviets forced their subjects into doing.
