But the military in Starship Troopers( the book and the movie) was all volunteer. Not only that you could quit at any time the only negative conseqauence being you never got a chance to be a citizen again.

And you didn't have to serve in the military, most did not. However once you volunteered you had no choice in the matter, IIRC.
