I disagree. The current volunteer-only military service means that only people with that mindset join in the first place. If there were compulsory military service, that would mean everyone else, regular people with no desire for glory/etc would be in there too. Look at what happened during Vietnam. There was such drastic anti-war sentiment specifically because anyone could be drafted.
