Selective Draft Law Cases, 245 U.S. 366 (1918). The Court's analysis, in full, of the Thirteenth Amendment issue raised by a compulsory military draft was the following: ''As we are unable to conceive upon what theory the exaction by government from the citizen of the performance of his supreme and noble duty of contributing to the defense of the rights and honor of the nation, as the result of a war declared by the great representative body of the people, can be said to be the imposition of involuntary servitude in violation of the prohibitions of the Thirteenth Amendment, we are constrained to the conclusion that the contention to that effect is refuted by its mere statement.''

Hey, if it WALKS like a duck and QUACKS like a duck, it sure ain't a spotted owl, Roscoe. I suppose you also agree with Roe v Wade as good judicial accomplishment and correctness, too. You HAVE to if you believe the bilge you cited.
