Aye, it's like our eternal subject of how you should spend your time being conscripted. Most men I know (me included) think it's a big deal and individual choice, but as someone who chose the civilian service, I too have met my fair share of chest thumpers and all their stuff about patriotism and manhood and all that.
From them I like to ask this question: "I helped and after the obligatory service have continued helping the visually impaired people of this country by doing my service at the Guide Dog School. What did you do?"
