Because your country may need you at short notice, and only the very young men, suitably trained, can do the necessary work.

The draft (or National Service, as we Brits called it), is a healthy system. It got a bad name after World War 1, because that war seemed to demonstrate the fault in the logic of sensible military preparedness.

But nearly a century of subsequent history has shown that appeasement always fails.
