Shared sacrifice in time of war

Mike Huckabee's comments in response to an annoying line of hypothetical questions about actions the candidates would take as President in the wake of a terrorist attack. Huckabee said that during time of war Americans should be urged to sacrifice. His comments are early in this segment.

I am sympathetic to arguments for all-volunteer armed services, but I believe mandatory public service would be splendid. I also think it is a President's challenge to make sure that the cost of war is felt/shared as broadly as possible by the country's voters.
