OK then what about a forced conscription for min 18months with 3 options:
peace corp type stuff, civil state support (ANG, coastguard, etc.) , national support (choose your branch to include space command).
You're forcing people to chose, but giving people the choice on how. That would mean the guys beside you still had chosen to be there.
Besides after 18 months people that didn't want to be there would just be gone. Only those who reenlist would really be supporting long term war efforts. And if it was normalized in society as just something everyone had to do, like pay taxes, then I don't think people would be as butt sore about having to choose. It might even give civilian a better perspective of what serving your country means. Especially in a day and age when serving anything but yourself seems absent in a large populous.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
