And there's an even greater gulf between Democratic partisans and the general public on affirmative action. Your point?
As well as a greater rift between hard-left progressives -- like the kind who support slavery mandatory national service -- and the public.
Umm, it's the right wing who usually support conscription
Most cases I can think of its more often the left supporting conscription. Lincoln, Wilson, FDR (started the first peacetime draft), LBJ.
Here are a few other countries with conscription:
Bolivia
Moldova
China
Russia
Venezuela
Pretty much all of N. Africa
Brazil
Vietnam
There are some right-wing countries that use conscription, but they are in the minority.
