You know what, I 100% agree with that statement. It doesn’t have to be military, but many countries have mandatory service usually right after high school.
I think it would instill a sense of responsibility towards their community, a sense of hard work, pride, etc. I’m talking about like working in a park, wildlife clean-up, homeless shelter food stocking, and yes also military. I don’t think the military part should be mandatory, but if some people want to go that route as their “national service” then that should be an option.
We have already made it extremely hard to be a young adult in this country, why not add an extra helping of shit on their plates, to make older people feel better about their choices, eh?
I say let the wealthy and people over 50 contribute this mandatory service. They’ve screwed this country up, lets see them do their share for the community for once in their charmed lives. Give the Jared kushners and effing pickelball set some tongs to pick up trash and use a chain gang if we have to.

Yes a civic service duty would be helpful, but I’m not sure making it mandatory would work out unless it were presented as one of several options.
