(February 9, 2017 at 10:15 am)Jesster Wrote: I have mixed feelings about it. I wouldn't support it at all if everyone had to do military service, but if there was an option in more civilian service as well I might be persuaded to support something like that. It would do a lot of good for the country and it would teach people some much needed perspective. I'm just not sure how much I could get behind the non-voluntary part. So... maybe?

Not everyone would have to do military service as there are people who aren't suited for that, they would get a choice in what they wanted to do. Some examples are in the OP.
