re: #175 Buck
No, Buck. First of all, that section of the constitution doesn’t say that congress has the power to conscript people, just to raise an army. You can raise an army without conscripting people.
Second of all, making sure that all people are healthy is an obvious good thing for the military as well. We reject a ton of people from the army for medical reasons, many of them caused by conditions that, if they had been treated earlier, wouldn’t have wound up with them getting rejected.
