No, every man must serve his country in one of the two ways: by going through military training or, alternatively, by doing "civilian service". Most men do the about a half a year long military service. Civilian service lasts for a year, during which you must work at a state- or county-owned working place such as a hospital or a school.

Why military service should be voluntary?

Military service should be voluntary to respect individual autonomy and personal choice, allowing individuals to decide if they are willing to take on the risks and responsibilities of military life. Voluntary service can lead to a more motivated and committed force, as those who choose to serve are likely to be more dedicated to their roles. Additionally, a volunteer military can foster a sense of civic responsibility and engagement among citizens, reinforcing the idea that serving one's country is a personal decision rather than an obligation.
