That is true too, and it does suck that we will be nearly 30 before we finally settle down so to speak, but I think the logic behind having NS is reasonable. I will freely admit that I am apprehensive about whether I will be able to continue with my studies in an Uni after NS( one can forget a lot of things in 3 yrs), but I try to be optimistic.
