Here is the United States Constitutional Amendment XIII
addressing the issue of non-mandatory government service--
"Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a
punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted,
shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their
jurisdiction. Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this
article by appropriate legislation."
At present there is a plan which is currently passing through congress in the form of a bill, as an expansion of Americorps.
It calls for consideration of “a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people.”
Mandatory service. To government. A thing that is specifically forbidden in Amendment XIII to the Constitution.
Think about it.
