    Where does it say you don’t get paid?

    Also, in terms of understanding how things happen, this is definitely not a bad thing.

    So many people take everything for granted. I worked a couple of years in agriculture. Long days, tough work. I will never look down on a farmer, and it thought me some neat lessons in life too.

      You get paid for jury duty. Making a living off of that? When i read national duty i heard conscription in my head. Maybe because i just assume the idea is as good as the compensation.

        Call me naive, but it seems to me that if everyone was pitching in for a season of farm work, less people overall would be doing 8/15/etc consecutive years and getting their bodies destroyed.

      Maybe in that one aspect, but I’d imagine the mandatory labor at likely very low wages will make most people resent it more than anything.
