I'm in favor of mandatory public service (not exclusively military) but I also don't think a private company should be weighing in on such topics, since it's just a bunch of capital owners preaching about what everyone else should do.

Who will pay for it? We can't even pay for education or healthcare.

We can, we just choose not to because of how we prioritize accounting. I see no reason why a well-run program shouldn't pay for itself since people would be doing some work as well as getting trained. Obviously, I'm picturing this as part of a broad realignment of national priorities and governance mores, not as a drop-in solution that we could just put in place tomorrow.
