Drafts should be considered a war crime against your own people. If you can't defend your country without a draft, it doesn't deserve to be defended because there are obviously not enough people willing to fight for it. Turning your citizens into slaves and sending them into the meat grinder makes you a monster.
I would be more likely to go the other way starship troopers style only those with the character to defend their country should have the right to vote in that country. Those leeching off the system and letting others doing the difficult things shouldn't be rewarded
So essentially install a military dictatorship, because only the military gets any votes?
