First, part of the reason was that it was put forth not as an honest bill but as a way to lesson support for the war. You need to know WHO put it out first and his motivation.
Secondly is it really needed? Must service be REQUIRED of all? Would not most people serve without due cause? I'd much before a Robert Heinlein method where you have no obligation to serve but you can't vote unless you do.
