Should a populations defence force consist of those who would

TL;DR Military industrial complexes are awesome.

Hence why China is trying to build theirs up as quickly as possible.

No room in the winners circle for hippies.

>Should a populations defence force consist of those who would make up the population that are willing to defend the society or should it be in a more warrior class that is always prepared to fight?
It sounds like you're asking about militias and vs. professional standing volunteer armies. To which I say the latter is always better, especially when coupled with selective service like the USA has in case a major war occurs.

Military Industrial Complexes are underrated anyways. I mean, frankly, it's the Military Industrial Complex that has given us the near global hegemony we have today. Sometimes stupid shit like the Iraq War happens, but then we also have fun stuff like the Korean War which gives us new allies and greater influence.

And while a militia system in an armed nation like the USA would probably be eventually capable of making any occupation not worth it after a while, that doesn't mean several nations wouldn't try and bring lots of destruction and misery to the nation, or that other groups such as ISIS wouldn't try to hurt us.
