Firefighters defend against fire, doing a regular job for a wage, employed under circumstances based on consent.

We need to stop this ritualization of the work that the military does. It is, after all, just a type of work.

I would say that the "mental conditioning" and strict disciplinary system of the military is unique among lines of employment.

Even more reason that it shouldn't be mandatory.
