23. Not to debate all your bullets, but I'm wondering ...

How, specifically, is mandatory service "immoral"?

And, assuming a democratic society chooses to implement mandatory service, for the greater good, how would doing so be "undemocratic"?

I *do* have a problem w/ the "involuntary servitude" aspect of it, but see this latest Iraq war as a sample of what a country gets when the fighting is outsourced and loses any personal connection.
