For some reason, John Kerry removed this from his website.

:: John Kerry for President - A New Era of National Service ::

As part of his 100 day plan to change America, John Kerry will propose a comprehensive service plan that includes requiring mandatory service for high school students and four years of college tuition in exchange for two years of national service.

SpinSwimming has more detailed analysis.

Since 9/11, The democrats have proposed several bills to re-institute the draft. The GOP has opposed these and prevented them from being seriously considered. John Kerry is now accusing the GOP of secretly re-instituring the draft after the election. I am afraid he has it backwards.
