Everyone Should Be Required To Join The Military

n some countries, citizens are required to serve in the military for a year or more. The United States doesn’t enforce the same rules as them, but should they? People may think its cruel to make people join the military, some may say that it’s a good thing. So far there are only 26 countries that do so. The 26 that does so, does it for their safety. If everybody in your country had some military training, would that be good or would it go wrong?

They are willing to give up their lives for their country. Usually when someone joins the military they know that there is a chance they can die. With knowing this they still join so that their country can keep its freedom and they can keep everyone living there can be safe. Some soldiers will even take a bullet so that another soldier can live

Post 9-11 military enlistment numbers spiked because individuals wanted to serve and protect our recently attacked country and our way of life. If individuals are forced to participate in a military campaign, the government will be relieved of one of the checks that help prevent them from engaging in unpopular or unwarranted campaigns.

Absolutely, positively, emphatically, unequivocally, without a doubt, NO! Not now, not ever! Well, maybe for one reason, in the event of an existential threat to our nation. Now that I have stated my opinion I will back this up with information from several studies providing evidence for continuing the worlds greatest all volunteer (entry) military force.

Some people such as yourself, who do not support military recruiting in high schools, worry that military recruiters prey on the poor students and persuade them to join by offering things such as signing bonuses and the promise of free college. Admittedly those things might be offered, although not specifically for those of a lower income household, but for all recruits, and they are not intended to be used to trap those students into the Military service. In a study done by the Center for Naval Analyses under the Department of Defense it was found that when the nation is divided into five “strata of affluence”, from poorest to wealthiest areas, most recruits hail from the three middle-income brackets while the poorest (under $36,74 a year) and the wealthiest (over $76,981 a year) brackets are under-represented (CNA 2014). I understand your concerns on this matter, and while in some cases the recruiters might actually focus on the lower income families, the majority of the military recruiters just want to see your children do what they are passionate about and see them succeed in it, as I know you do as

Thousands of children lost their parents in the war. Many enlisted in the war because it was so simple. They could enlist in the war without even needing to tell their age. Some kids even under the age of ten had a very important and dangerous job. This job was a drummer boy. They would beat the drum to a pattern that communicated to the soldiers. They were the first on the battlefield, which is what made their job so dangerous.

Dylan Bernal Mr. Recinto English 12 1B February 9, 2016 People having the right to refuse to serve in the armed forces Should we really not have the right to refuse a draft to the Armed Forces? People can go crazy after they leave the military. Going to the military can be against your religion. People should have the right to refuse to serve in the armed forces because they can get mental conditions, it can ruin their life, and it could be against their religion. People should be able to refuse to serve in the Armed Forces because they can get mental conditions.

The need for war has always been a debated point in human ideology. Countries choose to war over money, culture, terrorism, and many other issues. During the 1965-73 America drafted 1,728,344 individuals to the Vietnam wars (National Vietnam Veterans Foundation, 10 Aug 2015). With these escalated statistics an important question is raised on the morality of mandatory military service. This essay will discuss the dangers of drafted military services and how it harms personal freedoms, mental health, and it's effect on military movements and success.

Children all across world are being exploited as child soldiers. Everyday kids younger the age of 10 are putting their lives on the line mostly by force. ¨Over the last ten years, two million children have been killed in conflict. Over one million have been orphaned, over six million have been seriously injured or permanently disabled and over ten million have been left with serious psychological trauma.¨(Children In Conflict). A child soldier is a child with armed forces; they’re trained to fight, cook, be porters, messengers, informant spies, etc. Countries all across the world have been using children to fight, places like the United Kingdom, Africa, and Asia lean on children to do their dirty work regardless of what laws are put into place for recruitment age.

Another piece of evidence is “Many children join without carefully thinking through their decision. At the time,they might believe that recruiting would lead to a safer life as necessities such as food, water, and shelter would be available the actual fighting in the war would not cross their mind.” The children are only thinking what is best for themselves under false pretenses the fight does not even come to mind. The text also states “Once they are recruited the children become over reliant on their commanders for shelter, money, water, drugs, and alcohol that they find it an extreme difficulty to leave.” The child soldiers are desensitized to actually become attached to their troop and commanders and heavily rely upon them that they are finding it to be hard to leave them behind. This evidence is helping to support the claim by because these children have no idea what they are doing and are being drugged and desensitized to believe it is okay to do such

The reason why people use children as soldiers is because they are relatively easy to manipulate. Since they are unaware about dangerous situations at this stage in their lives, they go into the military obliviously, not knowing what will happen to them. They are forced to do many jobs that can put themselves in great physical and/or psychological damage such as being scouts or decoys to draw the enemy’s fire, sacrificed as suicide bombers, used as front line combatants, and are also mine sweepers. Another reason why they are easily manipulated is because they are young and they do not know the value of money, therefore they are usually being paid less than they should be considering the deadly jobs they are put into. Although in most cases these

Some children volunteer themselves or have their family volunteer them because they feel that they will be better off living with the armed groups. They will receive food and water every day, they will feel secure and have a bed to sleep in knowing they are safer than they would be at home, they also volunteer from social pressures. In most cases, children are forcibly recruited, by either being abducted or having threats said to them, (commonly) about their families. Most children are convinced to join the armed groups if they are poor, have no family, no education or living near or at a combat zone, as they say they may as well join they ‘have no reason to live

In the article, “Summative Essay” it states, “At the time they might believe that recruiting would lead to a safer life as necessaties such as food, water, and shelter would be available; actually fighting in the war would not cross their mind.” After the child soldiers recruit into battle they cannot get out. It is a means of life or death. They could be joining for the fact that they will have somewhere safe to sleep at night, and something to drink because their parents are not there to provide it.

I should be permitted to go into the military. I should be permitted because I am proud of my country.  I should be permitted because being in the military is not as deadly as my other options. I should be permitted because I can make a diffence. My opponents claim that I should not make the choice to go in to the military. It is my chose to do whatever I want to do like go into the military or be a cop. Many people feel that I would waste my life for no reason. This view is not the trueth for me and other like me because we are fighting and helping for the people that live in that area. All though it may be that there are devises out there that are devastating. What this idea fails to recognize is that there are devises like that but the US

Occasionally these children join the army because they are orphans frequently because their parents were killed by rebels or during a war, which means the children do not have money, food or knowledge on how to take care of themselves or survive. The children that join the army are commonly from ages eleven or twelve all the way through eighteen or nineteen years old
