If you want to bring people together create a program to do such thing. Forcing them into a shooting at people and dropping bombs course is the worst thing you could possibly come up with.

Again, I said it was a good idea, not the be all end all of bringing people together, that is just one benefit of mandatory service.

You guys are really trying to misunderstand me.

You're able to refuse active military service and will be put into a civil service position. No one is forced to "shoot at people".

In your mind perhaps, in my country before they abolished military service you would get fined and sent to jail if you refused to go and they would teach everyone at last once how to shot a gun towards targets made to resemble human beings.

I'm talking about Germany as this article is talking about the potential reintroduced of mandatory military service there.
