Mandatory military service or civic service assumes that we the people belong to the state.
I do not belong to the United States of America, I do not belong to California and I do not belong to you.
Involuntary servitude is contrary with a free society.
Calm down... your safe from service for the time being. No one is going to hurt you or expose you to danger. As long as we keep the reserves and recruiting beefed up, you youngsters can continue to hide in plain site.
However, A free society is dependent on a strong military to respond to threats to us and our allies. Absent that... we could go to a dictatorship or or even worse, a theocracy. Once we pull out of Afghan and Iran flexes their muscles [with Russia backing them] then perhaps you will understand how dangerous the world really is... same thing could easily happen with n korea/china. When the pentagon gets really nervous like they did in southeast asia, it doesn't take much to provoke a serious conflict... which can quickly escalate.
