No Military Conscription
All schemes for automatic registration through government invasions of the privacy of school, motor vehicle or other records should be immediately eliminated. The still-functioning elements of the Selective Service System should be abolished and all associated records should be destroyed. The President should immediately pardon, providing unconditional exoneration, for all who have been accused or convicted of draft evasion, desertion from the military in cases of conscription or fraud and other acts of civil resistance.

Don't Draft at the Federal Level---Draft into the Militia
Posted April 5th, 2008 by JminehanMost states have Military Laws or Militia Acts that require all males between 18 and 50 or 60 (it depends on the state) be part of the "Unorganized Militia." This is a vestigial form going back to Colonial Times.
What if all conscription were to be done through the States into their National Guards, with those so drafted subject to being federalized? This seems to better pass Constitutional muster and to be more potentially efficient.
