I’ll argue to anyone that every Vietnam and Korean War draftee was a slave, or at least as much a slave as serfdom was.
As bad as chattel slavery, no, but forced into dangerous labor for the profit of an uncaring oligarchy by threats of violence, yes.

Rich people don’t get drafted
‘I ain’t no senators son…i ain’t no fortunate one’
I’d agree with this as long as it was a draft for general federal service, not necessarily military. We could draft into the park service, NOAA, NIST, the forestry service, BLM, heck I bet we could even figure out how to use draftees in DoE. I don’t see any problem with a few years of required federal service for all citizens, and there are lots of options.
If it were me I’d rather be forced to do field labor than be forced to fight a war.
Vietnam was pretty fucking bad.
