And people lined up after pearl harbor.

Not exactly, not for long, and not for the ground fighting forces, that is why we had to go to a draft.

66% of the WWII military was drafted, and 93% of the United States Army was draftees.

So what? Because it was done doesn’t make it right. It is the absolute pinnacle of the philosophy that the individual exists to serve the state and not the opposite. A draft of people to work and often die against their will is closer to Adolph than to Madison and Jefferson.
