I'd agree with this as long as it was a draft for general federal service, not necessarily military. We could draft into the park service, NOAA, NIST, the forestry service, BLM, heck I bet we could even figure out how to use draftees in DoE. I don't see any problem with a few years of required federal service for all citizens, and there are lots of options.
