I do like the idea of a non militaristic national service though.Perhaps something where every citizen is required at some point in their life to put in time being of service for their country and community. There could be so much done, so much learned. In disaster relief , environmental maintenance/clean up, community building, so much possibility. Just the varied training, discipline and shared experience developed through working cooperatively in an organized fashion could be very useful. Being fit to respond effectively to an emergency would be well worth it. I bet it would go a long way to strengthening a healthy national unity/identity too...

Fifth: It's been tried before, most recently in the US for Vietnam, and people complained very loudly that they were been sent to fight a pointless war. The reaction probably won't be any different now.

I agree to, but I don't think the draft does that. I think the draft would make people more protectionist and less likely to want to use the military, which isn't always a good thing (and I'm a pacifist saying this!).

First, mythology: I think a lot of this is the assumption that 'only poor people join the army' and that they're in some way forced. However there is research to show the average recruit comes from an area slightly richer than the average. So a large part of the military is rooted in the middle class, a key group whose votes politicians fight hard for.
