Quite right. How many Snowdens and Mannings would come in with every set of
conscripts?  How many patriotic citizens who listen carefully to EFF
arguments and criticize their government from a foundation of love for
America would find new reason to distinguish between America and her
government?

The only way to make this work would be to radically dehumanize the
opposition.  And wish that done, you don’t need a draft; you’ll have plenty
of volunteers.

Dave, and everyone:

Many of the students I've met who have ambitions in the cybersecurity field
want to enter it so as to help fight spying BY governments. They'd be
dissuaded... or simply go underground... if they were at risk of
conscription to work FOR those governments.
