What are the pros and cons of compulsory national service?

Asked by stump (3855points) March 4th, 2010

The US military is currently a professional volunteer force, but at times there has been a draft. Many countries have cumpulsory service. Would US foreign policy be effected if military service was compulsory? Should a compulsory national service include the Peace Corp or similar service for citizens committed to non-violence?
