"still in favor of compulsory community service for all citizens after their 18th birthday"

What's wrong with that?

I think a lot of the young people I meet today could benefit from some time spent in a barracks environment with people from different parts of the country and walks of life.

Perhaps, but utilitarianism is a slippery slope. Conservatives are supposed to be about principles. Conservatives are the ones who should be asking why the State, not in cases of emergency, but in the normal course of business, should have the right to compel service from its (wink, wink) "citizens".
