Understandably, it is logical to think that if Congressman knew that people they knew might be shipped out, they would be less likely to vote for a war but that's leaning on blackmailing. If a war was necessarry, lawmakes would practically be deciding between their family and friends or the cause.
In addition, even when a war wasn't going on (Which all together take out only a few years of every century) a good number of people would be drafted into the reserves and forced to miss college and years of their lives.
More importantly, does the government have the right to draft people against their will when there is no need for them?
