Ugh, there are talks of reintroducing mandatory military service in Germany because of Russia (and a little bit for social services as one can do them as an alternative). Although I see that it might be necessary I hope that my kids won’t have to serve.
I don’t mind the idea of mandatory service to one’s country, but “military” should be optional. I’m sure there’s loads of important infrastructure projects that need doing, environment cleanup, various jobs to instill a sense of ownership and belonging while doing measurable good.

At least here in Finland, the military part is optional.
