Reply #54: You asked and I gave you examples

you did not like the answer that is besides the point

By the way, your neighbor to the south has an interesting take on military service.

1.- Lottery (which is a problem the kids of the well to do get out of it)

2.- Service, though nominally in the military, involves some close order drill and community service... some aspects of that could be implemented as well

But you asked.

Oh and historically Germnany has been just as big a threat to world peace... but hey, whatever trips your trigger.

The point is, military service perse does not an empire make, and that is fallacious thought that is commonly used
