Just like it did with Vietnam, I think this would send support for the wars plummeting. It's one thing to support a war when you know there's little chance of someone you love being affected. But when your child or sibling or niece or nephew is at risk, you look at war completely different.
Maybe the constitution should be amended to say that all 18 year old relatives of all federal politicians (Congress & Executive branch) would be required to serve on the front lines of any war declared for the duration of that war. I doubt they'd be so quick to send troops all over the globe.
