I will say this though, alot of democratic countries have compulsory military service for young people. (Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Finland, Israel, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland etc)
This is really no different than that. Requiring young people to do something for the benefit of society as a whole is hardly totalitarian or authoritarian, and is precisely what the sniffling, whining, narcissistic punks whining about their freedom in this thread need.

Freedom comes with a price, if you're not willing to pay that price, then you don't deserve to be free.
