I would be in favor of promoting voluntary civil services with benefits similar to what military service would get you. We promote the military here in the USA everywhere you look, so why not other beneficial government work? We could even throw in some flag-waving and eagle croaking to make it look all patriotic. Make it look like a great contract to enter, but keep it voluntary until then.
Heck, we already have groups like the Peace Corps. We could expand on that idea and make it less of a joke.
