Toni, I think national service would be hard to introduce into countries that don't have it because people would have a hard time accepting this new requirement. In countries that already have it, it's probably not that big a deal - I'd guess most people view it as no more intrusive than paying taxes or doing jury duty .
I really don't see why you're good with requiring community service to graduate high school but not with national service of any sort - it strikes me as pretty much the same thing. A system like the one Medusa describes sounds like a good opportunity for pre-college kids to test out their interests and abilities before committing to any career path.
