Neither, service should be a choice not an obligation but if inherently needed in times of war, preparations must be of education and skill development alongside harbouring training in combat knowledge.

Yes, but it shouldn't only be limited to prioritizing military combat skills, but also in the field of giving aid (medic), and enhancing skills needed to survive if an unwanted war came through. They also should consider the abilities of each person considering that every person is different in terms of health and capabilities.
