Military or otherwise, "national service" is something I'd support as a parent of 2 directionless kids. It would have been great for my own growth as well, even if I didn't know it at the time.
It doesn't have to be "mandatory" per se, because surely our courts would strike something like that down. But it could maybe be incentivized by attaching certain lifelong benefits to completing service.
There'll never be a better time to try to get the ball rolling.
