What would be really nice is to have a non-military civil service option. So when someone graduates high school, they can still get a government job doing things like road construction or garbage collection, or even get trained on higher skilled areas. The only problem with this, is most of these activities are done by private companies that bid on contracts, so there is no room for a government organization to fill this role.
