I'm not sure you are adequately grasping the analogy of the tax code and volunteering etc....

The tax code part of my post was a joke. See I am a former quixotic libertarian sock turned into a predictible too-conservative-for-Ty sock. But who isn't?

Volunteering is having a choice and taking it. In my example, the military would be a choice. Perhaps one choice among many. So, in that sense, you'd presumably get the same set of kids as you do now who would "volunteer" for th military. Particularly if you continued to pay them the same benefits (and paid volunteers in other programs less).

No, you are using a fucked up definition of choice. Having a choice is the system we have now. You can chose the Peace Corp or the military or Americorps or some other sort of volunteer work/service. Or you can chose not to. That is choice.
