Well, for me, military life was basically just about learning to kill people -- and that's something I had a very hard time coming to terms with. (I ended up in the combat medic vocation, though. ) The extreme deprivation of individual freedom was something I didn't like, either.
I already know how to kill people, I don't need the military to teach me that. Joking aside, I see NS as our nation's way to ensure that if we ever come under attack, our agressors will have to fight tooth and nail before we fall, if we fall.

In other news, I want women to serve NS too. They need not take the same route as us guys, but there are many non-combat roles that women can take, and I see no issue as to why they should not serve. That is the only stickling point I have with NS, why guys only?
