We have a professional, standing army but also a huge portion of people has at least some military expirience if it should be necessary to defend the country in an all out war.

It does sound like a good formula. Are females included in the mandatory service? Just curious about it. I think people of Taiwan also have to have mandatory military service. As you can imagine I also think it a good solution.
