Importance Of National Service

Singapore was highly protected by both the British and the Australians forces and acted as a major base for these countries. To the British it was their biggest naval base in Asia and since Britain had the most powerful Navy in the war, Singapore was seen to be impenetrable. Over 130,000 British and Empire troops defended Singapore, and then later in 1941 Australia contributed by sending over 15,000 men. However the mistake that the British made was that they were prepared and almost certain that the Japanese would attack from the sea. But on February 8th 1942, the Japanese marched on through down Malaya and surprised Singapore at the north entry and then used precise air attacks to cause widespread panic and unnerve their enemy. Singapore was overtaken in 7 days and the British surrendered on 15th February 2014. Out of the 145 000 combined soldiers in Singapore, most of them would spend the rest of the war in prison camps like Changi Prison while thousands of them were killed.

Millions of men and women have served in the armed forces before me and millions more will serve after. Some have paid the ultimate sacrifice; some lost and captured, others received wounds, physically and or emotionally, and that time

While the initial sparks of Singaporean nationalism may have stemmed from being under the British colonial rule or arose due to the brutality that the people were put through during the Japanese Occupation between 1942 to 1945, it is difficult to ascertain exactly when the start of Singapore’s nation building efforts began. Characterized by the process where a large body of people associated with a territory commits to its own government, I would define the start of Singapore’s nation building process from the time its people started to strive for their independence. In this essay, I would argue about how the Japanese Occupation was indeed, a significant turning point that led to cultivation of Singapore as a nation.

The issue that has been addressed throughout this study is veteran’s rights. The issue of veteran’s rights is still being pursued and is near and dear to me. Not only am I a veteran, but I come from a long line of men and women who have proudly worn the uniform in defense of our nation. Between the mindset of the American public, to the cases presented before Congress, this is an ongoing dilemma. Caring for our brothers and sisters in arms is the socially responsible thing to do. However, many roadblocks must be torn down before this can come to fruition.

Choosing who to be in the office for the president of the United States can be tricky because you really don’t know anything about the candidate but what they tell you. So you have to go by what they said that’s why I feel in order to care and defend for our country you have to know and understand what the citizens need, and by doing that I think the candidate should serve in the military. In my paper I’m going to discuss why in order to be the president of the United States he/she should serve in the military.

serve, saying, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”

While many people believe that an all-volunteer service could be more efficient, the United States government should institute a combination of a draft and volunteer service as its military service profile. An all-volunteer service is one which derives its manpower from volunteers rather than conscription or mandatory service. Conscription (or drafting) is the compulsory enlistment of people in some sort of national service, such as military service. Many arguments are presented in support of both the draft and the all-volunteer force. These arguments are analyzed in the following categories: military effectiveness; cost and other economic considerations; and morality. Even though the United States changed to an all-volunteer service in 1973, the country reserves the right to renew conscription in the event of an emergency.

The United States of America has always been a country based on the protection of its citizens’ freedom. Due to this long-held principle, which comprises the country’s core values, the concept of universal national service (more commonly known as the draft) is quite controversial. Advocates for the draft argue that the drafting of eligible Americans is necessary to preserve a strong military that is capable of protecting the U.S. from possible attacks, as well as instilling a sense of national pride in its youth. While the draft could potentially strengthen the military in theory, the draft could also be quite counterintuitive in reality. Furthermore, the U.S. Draft, in some ways, could be infringing on citizens’ human rights

As I have already mentioned, Singapore has four official languages: English, Tamil, Mandarin and Malay. It was so historically formed that the official language of Singapore is Malay and the national anthem is also written in Malay language. English is the administration language of Singapore and it is mainly British English, but also contain some American English influences. English remains the first language medium in schools and colleges of the country, and is also the most widespread language in the literature. All signs and official publications are written in English, but there are also versions translated into other official languages. But the population doesn’t speak English, but so-called Singlish with Creole characteristics, Chinese dialects, and Indian and Malay languages.

Why we serve directly affects how we serve. We serve ethically with character, we take pride in honorably serving the Nation with integrity and demonstration character in all aspects of

Americans every year celebrate holidays, such as the Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Memorial Day, dedicated to America and every day raise the country’s flag outside. Although patriotism can be very simple, there are many deeper and life sacrificing ways Americans show their love. According to “American War Deaths Through History”, there has been around 650,000 people in American history who have died in battle and about 1.2 million people have died during service in war time- which includes medics, civilians, and workers contributing to the war efforts. All of these people have completely different backgrounds, but they all share one thing in common: their love for their country and what they would do to better it in any way. A prime example of how strong patriotism can be is from The Speech to the Virginia Convention.

To start off, compulsory national service is when a country requires that men and women register for the military at the age of 18. Once they are registered, if a war breaks out and their nation is in the war, they are automatically thrown into military service without their say so. This could mean that at any age and at any time, a young adult could just be thrown into

However, service members are held to a higher standard. We are the line that protects this country and we are the defense against the storm. Without us, this country would not exist and could not exist. And for that, I have to follow the orders and instructions given by

In the essay, “What You Can Do For Your Country,” James Herbert Bushman speaks of instituting a mandatory military service requirement of three years, starting before the age of twenty-four. Bushman states his belief that as a requisite of citizenship, you must serve in a branch of the military. He claims that a necessary service will benefit more than only the military, but will benefit individual people as well by increasing the feeling of unity, the knowledge and skillset of the individual, and will grant equal pay and benefits for all in service. Bushman suggests that everyone who is unwilling to serve their country is no better than a freeloader or a beggar on a street corner, mooching off others’ efforts and earnings. Similarly, he repeats the old phrase ‘freedom is not free,’ and insinuates that everyone must work equally for their share of freedom.

My fellow friends and Loyalists, we have been betrayed by our own. Patriots are what they call themselves. They do not believe in our king anymore. The king has supported us and fought for us and in return they cause a rebellion. King George once said, “A traitor is everyone who does not agree with me,“ and he is beyond correct. Anyone who sides beside them are committing treason and ought to be penalized. We shall stay with Britain because we are stronger than the Patriots, trade is successful, and the economy is sustainable.
