I support compulsory service, but I believe the conscriptees should be able to choose between the military, Peace Corps and AmeriCorps. No one should be forced to serve in the armed forces. The benefit would be free college tuition.

Given that the majority of Americans are overweight or obese, and unfit to get accepted into the military, it may be time for compulsory service.

Physical fitness is hardly a reason for conscription.

And apparently a contingent who thinks it would be a wonderful idea now.
