I honestly can't see anything that isn't wrong about it. It's "I'm stronger than you and you will do what I tell you or I'll kick your ass" at it's purest, and cleverly applied to create a cycle that sustains the balance of power as it is.
To the first: I disagree. I believe It's only one method of mobilization to serve the country's defense. America is a representative democracy. It's not forcing innocent people to do anything, because everyone that could be drafted also has a vote of who will represent them and make the chose to have a draft or not.

To the second: Could you provide an example?
