One major way was creating places for people to work for example: building roads, making monuments*, giving out food, cutting trees, and fixing telephone poles.
My position on the draft is in favor, because I support the idea that military service should be voluntary.
Military service should be voluntary because when it becomes a draft, it ends up violating basic civil rights. For example, some people are radical pacifists, and their pacifism is an intimate part of who they are. If these people were drafted, their right to believe in something would be violated.
Voluntary service is without a doubt more just than required military service. Voluntary service does not violate any civil rights, and it may even result in a better military because only those who want to be part of the armed forces end up being recruited.
