Because a soldier who wastes the time and money of the army is the norm, not the exception, in a conscript army, and thus incidents like the one in your post won't raise an eyebrow.
Civil service(which was rightfully regarded as the worst option) was dumped years ago, and no longer exists.
My point with junkies and social welfare recipients, was that they contribute as much to society as a soldier does(ie. nothing), but the soldier takes out much more of society's resources than the first two groups(who additionally feel shame because of their condition and are often/most of the time there because of past life experiences have put them there).
