From NATO’s stark warnings about Russian aggression to the breakdown of social cohesion in Western democracies, the arguments for reintroducing mandatory national service — military or otherwise — are more compelling than ever. It would force people from all walks of life to work side by side, build psychological hardiness, and rediscover a sense of earned pride in their country.
