The only compromise that factors into this is that between politicians. We all know how desperately out of touch today’s politicians are with their constituents, meaning that this agreement would satisfy political maneuvering with little regard for the will of those involved.
A draft isn’t necessary, in my view. If a war is genuinely worth fighting, people will volunteer in droves; if it’s not, why the blazes would we force people to serve in it? We always complain about the other methods by which government takes away our liberties, so what makes this any different? I don’t care how many compromises this idea makes, it’s a very bad one.
