Thirty-six percent (36%) of all voters believe that all citizens should be “required to spend a year in public service, either in the military or some other form of service.” Fifty-two percent (52%) are opposed. On this question, with 45% in favor of mandatory public service and 43% opposed. Just 33% of Republicans and 31% of Democrats support the concept.
If there is a military draft, 41% of voters believe women should be drafted and 49% disagree. Democrats and unaffiliated voters are evenly divided on this question. Republicans are opposed by a 56% to 32% margin. Fifty-five percent (55%) of men believe that women should be drafted and 58% of women disagree.

The survey also found that just 17% of voters are following news stories about Blackwater USA Very Closely. Another 35% say they are following it Somewhat Closely. Thirty-six percent (36%) of voters say that ”private security firms like Blackwater undermine the U.S. relationship with Iraq.” Twenty-one percent (21%) disagree.
