If you are referring to military training alone, no. If you trained all citizens to be soldiers and most of those citizens went on to civilian jobs, those civilians would most likely take away from the training that a person that will actually become a soldier needs. If you are referring to military service being made compulsory, I still say no under the current circumstances. By soldiers volunteering, you are getting recruits that want to be soldiers, meaning that they will take training more seriously and also be more willing to put their life on the line for the mission. If you require military service, you will be recruiting soldiers that do not want to die or fight, and that could be a liability. Sure, in a war like World War 2 where we were threatened by a nation that could have actually taken us over, there is strength in numbers. But in the battles we fight today, where their is no threat of invasion, where we only fight insurgents that try to kill as many soldiers as possible, with no real hope of taking over america, then there is only strength in well trained soldiers. Larger numbers would only mean a higher amount of people that could be hit IED's or ambushes, and result in a high casualty count. Our miltary is now smaller but better trained, but most of the people actually want to serve, which makes their service that much more great.

According to Vegetius, changes in Roman military armor and training techniques were primarily driven by the need to adapt to evolving warfare and threats from various enemies. He argued that earlier tactics and equipment became less effective due to changes in the nature of combat, emphasizing the importance of discipline, rigorous training, and the adoption of more effective armor. Vegetius believed that the decline of the Roman military's effectiveness was linked to a lack of proper training and the neglect of traditional military values. Ultimately, he advocated for a return to the practices that had once made the Roman legions successful.
A military force made up of civilians trained as soldiers is generally referred to as a paramilitary force.
