Not sure what "civilian national security force" means. But, I like the fact that Isrealies are required to serve 4 years, I believe, in the military. I would have no problems if my kids were required to serve 1-2 years in the military after high school or college. I enlisted in OCS in 91' but when I graduated I decided to go into civil life. If I were required to serve 1-2 years I gladly would have.
