Your first part is how mandatory military service is just to teach how to kill. Which is not true.
Most countries don’t need military service to work on community projects. Because people already know how their communities work, and there just isn’t a need for that type of slave labour.
What the military can get called in for though are things like disaster relief or searches for missing people where you need to look through a whole forest.
E.g., immigrants that naturalize have to put a *lot* of effort into naturalization; as a result, they’re usually much more personally invested in their civic life, on average, than typical citizens.
Civic Life: The public life of the citizen concerned with the affairs of the community and nation.
Person above me is talking about community building as well.
No one is talking about that other than you.
