I have a gut dislike for the idea of universal military service, but can see a compelling argument for it, if it really is universal (among other things, it reduces the commitment of the grunts to the military), and in any case Ricks would offer the alternative of civilian service for a longer term.
As to making the military more like civilian society, we should start by noting that the other services are not nearly so alienated from the rest of country as the Marines are.
