I have always thought the same as Dixie. 2-4 years mandatory service but not in the true military unless they elect to do so. They go through a generalized 4 week basic training then for the next 2 years they work for the country (NOT THE GOVERNMENT) doing good samaritan work with the homeless, helping to clean up and rebuild neighborhoods, helping the elderly with shopping, laundry cleaning all free of charge. They will pull a government paycheck while doing this, say the same as an E3 in the armed forces. Then they will get discounts on higher education, they will understand that they are NOT little snowflakes and the country working TOGETHER is in our best intrests.
