But I do not think we should have mandatory service, some people are just not cut out for that.

I agree with VOL. What makes our military wonderful is that its composed of a bunch of people who
want to be there (and a massive budget). Mandatory service would weaken the strength of any fighting force. You might say, well what about nations such as Israel, it seems to work for them? The answer to this is simple, American aren't as badass as Israelis. Israelis pretty much all have a common religion, and are willing to fight for it.
