May 8 2011: I don't think that 'beeing a part of something bigger' is a well enough criteria for making military service mandatory. If you whish to be a part of something greater I suggest joining a non-profit organization or something like that. To make military service mandatory is like going back in time instead of beeing progressive. I'm brought up in a country with mandatory military service and it serves no purpose.
