person here that has spent any time reading that document could argue
otherwise. You don't even need a war on to use it. My point was more how
we are fighting what are essentially unconstitutional wars all the time.
Even though I am willing to serve in them, I do have a problem with it, even
if it is just semantics.

The easy answer is never.
The hard answer is this.
I didn't know that there didn't need to be a declaration of war for a
constitutional draft to start.
I still don't know if it is the case, but I don't think you would have
written that if it wasn't.
If that is the case, then I guess as long as the draft was constitutional
everyone is honor/duty bound to go fight.
