I believe 2 years of service, whether in the military, or Peace Corps, or AmeriCorps (or some other service organization) should be mandatory when you graduate high school or deferred until after 4 years of college.
I agree with the other posters that the terms of the draft are horribly outdated. 15-20% of service members are women, and I see no reason why 26-34 year olds couldn't be drafted.
As far as the Ladies go, maybe a poll in the Ladies Lounge would grab their attention more than one in Politics. hint hint...

I don't think federal service should be absolutely mandatory, but I think you should not be allowed to vote untill you have served your country in some aspect.
