I'm going under the assumption that only a fraction of conscripts would be put into combat training, and even most of those would never be deployed overseas. How many reservists in Canada served in combat in Afghanistan?
It would be more of a public service model. Conscripts in Israel can choose to work as orderlies in hospitals, for example. In Canada, people could work building infrastructure in national parks, or in the the North. Fight fires in the summer. Work in nursing homes.
It's probably not practical owing to the infrastructure requirements. But I think it would be a social good.
