I just realized, does that make the draft unconstitutional? It's literally state coerced labor without even the pretense of a bullshit charge.
TLDR, not according to the Supreme Court, though you haven’t been the first to perhaps disagree.
That ruling is bullshit
~~The justices were literaly looking for any reason to keep the draft (for an unwinnable war that the pentagon lied about for years)~~
And yes, the draft is by definition servitude/slavery and is illegal under the 13th.
1917 is just a few decades too early for the Pentagon to be involved. Not that the government wasn't fucking lying anyway.
Oops
Technically it isn't, because you're left with option or conscientious objecting.
