I would agree with any sort of mandatory military service that allowed plenty of noncombatant positions for people that wished not to fight to serve in other ways.

That's why I don't agree with the draft too. I don't ever in my life even want to see a gun, let alone hold one, learn to use it, etc. It's just me (and I don't think nobody should have guns... so don't bother letting this get into gun control). When I say "service", I'm referring to some sort of community service, whether it is the Peace Corps, tutoring kids in the inner city, feeding the homeless, hospital volunteering, or cleaning up trash on the roads.
The biggest road block to it, as I see it, is financial.
