In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Two Republican candidates want to increase army - draft?

The other day, I posted "Prepare yourself to fight." I mentioned the draft, which I believe is coming back. Last night at the Republican debate in Florida, both Rudy Guiliani and Mitt Romney said they wanted to increase the size of the army. Their statements confirmed for me what I already knew: all the statist Republicans, except for Ron Paul, want a large, powerful armed forces, and they want to continue to build empire.

What's a good way to help build empire? The draft, of course. So write your rep in Congress. Tell him or her you oppose the draft in all forms. Maybe the same letter each month would do. Either that or pack your rifle (or move to Paraguay).
