I have always been a supporter of this idea. I believe everyone, including the children of the rich and powerful, should spend 18 months in the service of the country.
The education that one receives in the military is invaluable later on in life. It teaches responsibility, work ethic, sense of duty, good manners and it puts order into one's life. I believe it would do many things for everyone in society. I have seen many people who have been put on a positive path, myself included, because of their military training. It also helps to instill the true understanding of what it is to live in a democracy. You will spend the first 6 months living in a totally authoritarian state where you have few rights and no voice. It will make for less crime and more responsible action. You won't need recruiters on campus either.
