Everybody is upset about this draft exactly because it's mandatory! Nowadays "America has a 100% volunteer Armed Force" and that's the way it should stay. Those who want to go to war can go and those who don't can stay. There's nothing wrong with the way things are being done right now, the problem is how they want it to be done in the future. And those military out there in service that feel other people should be there have no reason to be thinking like that since they're there 'cause they chose to be there whereas other people chose not to be. They're packing their bags, kissing their wives and children, and boarding the planes because they want to. If it's 100% volunteer Armed Force then nobody forced them to go. They're there 'cause they want to, indure the consequences (good and bad).
