Can't see why one would want to have involuntary soldiers when there are plenty of voluntary soldiers. Who volunteer knowing that they can and will be sent to fight.
Maybe my view is colored based on the military people that I know that have been deployed (some multiple times) to the middle east. They don't mind going - they view it as their job and what they signed up for.
People would be more interested in politics and current affairs if everyone was forced to spend their own money and run for political office, too. That would be a valuable civics lesson. There are lots of other jobs and vocations that offer civics lessons, too.
