Interestingly, Israel has solved a lot of these problems by making military service mandatory.
Essentially, the moment you have to join the Army, you might as well look for the best possible place for you. This make the top units (whether technology units or otherwise) extremely competitive, and filled with the top talent the country can offer. In addition, these top units become desired in the resume, further increasing their desirability.

Paying huge amounts of money for people who do not want to be there get skills they do not need, at the point in life which is rather valuable. From defence point of view (for a country not likely to be involved in a war in its territory), its way better to invest that in training professionals.
