"You have the reality of people who are disabled and unable to serve in the military"
Make them recruiters, clerks, librarians, and computer techs. there's all kinds of jobs a person can do in the military even with physical disabilities.
"people who have religious objections or obligations that would be exempted"
They would also be exempted from voting :-) that's the idea, either you do something for the country or you don't vote. how you justify your refusal to do it doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is wether or not you do it.
" Also you have to many (at lest in the US) who would take advantage of priviledge to avoid real service <cough>bush<cough>)."
what's "real service" exactly? and how would this system make it easy for people to avoid it?
"You also have many who would be spending the time when they would be most productive (the best scientists are most productive in their early 20's) in an endevor that is wasting their talent"
Send them to work for Lockheed-Martin or Boing as military advisors working on new generations of aircraft. Or go work for NASA developing new space technologies. There are all types of research jobs in the military, and the supply would create more jobs. |
