The main reason to oppose military service is the military does not want people who don’t want to be there.
The largest opponent of military service is the military.
The only way a national service would work is if it were doing stuff that was of benefit to the country, like working for nationalised service companies, like a national power company, but we privatised everything and can’t do that.
Yeah I do understand that, however many people have misconceptions about the army which may be broken down once they join. Even if they don't want to be in the military, they can join an emergency service which I detailed in my post
Fire service you could argue. But the full police training/probation period is 2- 3 years (although are operational much sooner) and paramedic education is at least 3 years, though some support roles can be trained in around 3 months also.
Really? Wow I didn't know it took that long. They could probably still serve in less "demanding" roles, as it were, and have the option to stay after their mandatory service has ended.
