    With exception for people with physical disabilities and the possibility to postpone it and do it after grad school as a team leader. Kinda like the army basically :)

Oh for sure, the details of this program would be important to get right: the program should be accommodating to people experiencing hardships or disabilities (like if a young person's income is instrumental to a family's livelihood, they should be able to postpone their service). But I think the question of compulsory service should be how, not if. And also, while I'm thankful for those men and women who choose to serve in our military, I think all service should be lauded.
