can join the military, or you can go to a national forest to survey land for a year.
Bringing back the civilian conservation corps would be cool
Good new deal program there that could get much broader support than only compulsory military service. Also would probably be a bigger benefit for the mental health of the youth, not to mention benefitting the country.
Even things like beautifying broken down or trashed areas, give people a way to serve the country that actually is visibly improving it.
I think both sides could agree on this sort of thing, but it’d be hard not to politicize it.
