Finland has mandatory service because voluntary service isn't enough manpower. The US has a volunteer army of about 2 million. This is more than enough for our needs, so long as we don't get into a ridiculous conflict. The only reason I see mandatory conscription as "good" is in terms of it making people "less cowardly" and "more patriotic". And I'd have to see the latter being a good thing. I don't see why one should judge a country based on military conscription. The very act screams "my country isn't good enough unless we look at a very specific segment and judge our greatness solely on that". Finland is a wonderful country. It really doesn't need to be looked at in these terms; it has a lot of other good things as well. Your education system for one.

It have always been mandatory and people want to keep it that way.
Apparently not. Kenny showed his disdain toward it. And Finland only has about 5.4 million people. The US military is half of your entire country's population.

Implying the Finnish government wants anyone to think anything. And even if it would nobody would do anything for it.
