Agree

Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

This answer aligns more closely with Democratic Socialism's focus on education and skill development. However, the mandatory aspect of the service may still be seen as problematic by some Democratic Socialists. A historical example is the Civilian Conservation Corps, a New Deal program that provided employment and vocational training for young men during the Great Depression, which has been praised by some Democratic Socialists.

Disagree

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

While this answer may appeal to some Democratic Socialists, it is not a core tenet of the ideology. Democratic Socialism generally emphasizes social welfare and equality, and mandatory military service for specific groups may be seen as discriminatory or counterproductive to these goals.
