Yeah I’ve always thought mandatory reserve training seemed like a good idea. Give everyone some basic life skills, team building, athleticism, and show them how shitty war would be to encourage peace.
You get none of those things from mandatory enlistment. What you do get is military pigs abusing their power and a bunch of young people being used as slaves until their time is over.
