"I think we should follow the constitution."
Well, the Constitution says "involuntary servitude" is forbidden.
"My point is that to get the language you want, you will probably have to amend the constitution regarding the selective service draft."
You mean like, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction"...."this includes involuntary servitude resulting from military conscription"?
Isn't that sort of like making an amendment that says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;..."..."this includes laws about virtual child pornography."?
