Lynn, I was referring to a universal service requirement for all Americans over the age of 18, with the understanding that none are drafted into the military, but all owe their country maybe two years of service, after which they get free medical care. And I think the draft in the Vietnam War worked, in that it forced the rich and powerful to risk the lives of their kids. If one person has to face the risk of death in war the risk should be shared by all. The dysfunction that that war created amongst the draftees was the same as the dysfunction that arose in the Soviet Union. An insane war that profited no one except the makers of bombs and bullets, the Vietnam War was the last of that kind as we learned our lessons ( wish that last were in the least true). 

The draft, and high taxes for both business and individuals, were what made America a solid country, economically, and both helped with the income inequality problem.
No one would be forced to be in the military.
