Yes, you would lose access to the national health service (or other benefits)..that we could...for the third and final time, extend to children as a matter of course. Currently, we only extend service related benefits to service members children...I wouldn;t advocate for compulsory service unless those benefits were massively extended and enhanced..as I've already said in thread. I see no reason for a national service whatsoever (compulsory or otherwise) if the services it provides remain at the anemic levels they are currently at. We don;t need an army of road crews to let bridges fall into rivers, we don't need an army of healthcare workers if we're not going to provide healthcare, we don;t need an army of environmental cleanup crews if were not going to engage in environmental remediation, etc. -
-But if we are, then we can't ignore the neccessity and barrier of labor in providing broad access to those things. We have to put more into our services if we want to enhance them.
