I am not totally against a draft either.  I find it odd that the left in our country so quickly wants to mimic other countries, yet many do have mandatory military service.

I don't have a problem with this.  I would hope to not need a draft.  But I think it's an honorable and good thing that people should support the defense of their nation.  No one seems to complain about Switzerland's compulsory military service.

Now they do have options about which part of the service you go into, but serving the country you live in, isn't such a horrible idea.  In fact in some views, it's constitutional.  The militia under the constitution was every... as in every male of age.  There were no exception unless you were physically incapable.
