<That's easy for you to say, now that there's an all-volunteer military. When I turned 18 and got my draft lottery number, my only choice would have been to present myself for induction to serve in a war in which I honestly did not believe, or flee my country. Nobody consulted me. How does that differ from slavery?

It doesn't. No libertarian would ever support government conscription, either for the military or for "social" service. This is one of several issues that sets us apart from a number of standard "conservatives."
