    I feel like trying to do this in a country where 2-3 years of military service and training is a requirement for all adults shows a lack of forethought. This seems like a society where you’re going to want to try real real hard to keep the people content.

      Seems that way, but keep in mind that military service brings with it a military mindset of heirarchy. With everyone being primed to accept a “this person is my superior,” falling back on taking orders is a lot more palatable.

      Great point, after all we are all familiar with the historical example of the Hitler Youth overthrowing the government in Nazi Germany.
