No it won't pass. But this is not exactly new. This country had universal military service continuously from 1941 through the end of the Vietnam war. We had universities, and college students then too. There is nothing in the Constitution baring conscription. All serving in the military did was delay my college education for several years, but it also made me a better and more serious student. I got far more out of my education than I would have if I went right from high school into college.
