I think impacting everyone is a big part of the idea. I'm all for every possible tactical advantages if we're risking the lives of our youth and I don't know that a full vote in both the house and senate in order to wage war is the right thing but I'd absolutely support some sort of constitutional amendment that created a tax and draft for any military engagement that lasts more than 30 or 60 days or something. We have to pay for that stuff and we have to staff it. The real costs of Iraq and Afghanistan will play out over the next 50 years. Vets already commit suicide at a staggering rate. We already under treat post traumatic stress. We under treat most emotional issues. We over treat "pain." The divorce rate among soldiers is something like 2 to 3x the national average. The people that go and do the fighting don't exactly make up a nice normal looking slice of our national demographics either..
