Here in Finland I am currently doing The military service and yea it kinda sucks but I do feel its necessary for a country like Finland. Its "only" 165-347 -days long and a very big Part of Finnish culture, so I don't feel that Bad about it. It also really makes you grow as a person, having to tolerate all the bullshit that we have to do and we learn a lot of useful skills for Day to Day Life.

Is it mandatory for everyone or only males?

Males only, though women can voluntarily join If they want. The arrival batch for my brigade had about 1100 males and 70 females
