You're looking at it all wrong
It sure hasnt hurt a nation like Israel
The point is that not only does it strengthen a nation by giving all citizens a military background that can be called upon in an emergency after their initial service
It strengthens it by exposing all citizens to other citizens from every walk of life that they would likely never know otherwise, mixing them all together in pursuit of a common goal... allowing them all to see the value in each other
