Far better than a draft would be voluntary incentives in order to obtain future services or access rights. For example: military service guarantees voting rights and eligibility to stand for public office. Same for individuals who do so in a non-government venue for a minimum of two full years total e.g. church work trips to build schools or water purification systems: Peace Corps or Americorps would NOT count. Volunteer service in Provisional Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) which provide needed skills and training throughout the 3rd world but especially in war zones (Iraq, Afghanistan).
