To know what a modern day progressive mandate of military svc would look like you'd have to look at Europe. e.g. Belgium, where everyone must do "military" svc. But since there are so many problems w/forcing ppl to strap on boots, citizens can opt for community svc instead. In such a hypothetical post-equal rights era it's only feasible for men & women to have that choice. Yet in the US, this violates the 13th amendment. Changing #13A needs more than Congress. Every state votes on it
