Read your own posts: in the first, you refer to the draft as “involuntary servitude” and your next post describe military service as a simply a career with lifetime benefits.

You’re talking to a combat veteran that lost friends in war and who lost part of his right leg to a machine gun bullet. It isn’t just a career with dandy benefits - it’s a risky, dangerous mission for the young people who take it up for their nation. And the draft isn’t “involuntary servitude”. It’s a national obligation for men of the appropriate age.

You apparently believe that service in war is just for some and not all.
