National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.
You first, Alex. I’m sure the military could use your help on the front lines in Iran. Go capture Kharg island.

That’s one of the better ideas in the paper. It could lead to lower willingness to go to war.

There have been major protests by key members of the military like pilots against the planned judicial reforms before October 7th. That event unified the country like nothing else since the Yom-Kippur-War.
Israel is loss averse because of their citizens army. That bleeds over in their tactics as well. This manifests for example in destruction of whole houses and roads instead of clearing explosive traps, mines, and IEDs one by one at a higher risk to soldiers.
A large part of the secular left in Israel hates sending their children to defend fanatical settlers in the West Bank.
The war against Hezbollah in 2006 was cut short because of losses and protests.
Universal conscription isn’t a perfect solution, but it creates stronger bonds between military and the general population.
