Military Recruitment

The United States of America is the nation with the largest, most powerful, and most funded military. The United States has been known to commonly get involved with other nations purely based off the fact that it is militarily capable. In the past the United States has had to implement several drafts to support the military’s need for more troops. The question is, in this day and age, would it be acceptable for the United States to order a national mandatory military conscription to fuel the military? There are always those that are exempt from military service, as well as those who cannot be exempt which increases the gap of inequality which will harm some more than others. Due to evidence presented in previous conscription efforts, possible

Conscription, or more boldly the draft, has not been in place for some thirty years. While some people cringe at the thought of reinstating the draft, others have different views. This short paper will speak of those different views and the reasons why conscription of military service may not be such a bad idea after all.

Commercial surrogacy is the process in which a woman is paid a fee to carry and deliver a baby to term. Once the baby is delivered, the woman relinquishes all parental rights to the commissioning couple who exclusively raise the child as their own. Altruistic surrogacy, by contrast, is an arrangement where the surrogate receives reimbursement but only for the expenses that she may have incurred during the pregnancy. In this essay I will argue that commercial surrogacy should not be market-inalienable. I will start by outlining Elizabeth Anderson’s argument in “Is Women’s Labor a Commodity?” in which she offers a number of criticisms to commercial surrogacy. I will then outline objections to the argument and highlight how her argument is highly speculative and does not provide an adequate basis for the prohibition of commercial surrogacy.

Since the conscription ended in 1973, the number of members has grown considerably over the years. Men and women alike enlist for many different reasons; from educational purposes, for the adventure, and/or other benefits the military has to offer. Many enlist just because they want to defend and serve the country they live in and no other reason. However, all that do enlist want to be there doing what they are doing, not because someone told them they have to. The armed forces haven’t had any problems recruiting, and are recruiting more than their goal. According to the Department of Defense, they are recruiting anywhere from 100 to 105% of their goal each year.

As I’m sure you know, military recruitment in high schools has been a hot topic ever since the No Child Left Behind Act passed in 2001. According to the NCLB, all high schools that receive government funding must “provide military recruiters the same access to secondary school students as is provided generally to post secondary educational institutions or to prospective employers of those students” (No Child Left Behind Act of 2001). And unfortunately, any school that refuses this puts their funding in jeopardy. Yet many still strongly disagree with this mandate and want it revoked, begging the question: Is there a way to regulate this type of recruitment without eliminating it completely? Moms and Dads, I’m writing this letter because we need

The problem with recruitment was solved in many ways. The most common method of enlistment was actually through volunteering, but other men were forced to serve as well. The volunteers were attracted to service because of the money, and recruits joined from the mountains, towns, and even in war-zones and the majority of them consisted of peasants or townsmen that needed work. Many men joined the army to escape the life of their father 's work, to avoid criminal prosecution, to see more of the world, or to pursue honor. In addition to the volunteers, the governments also used forceful means of enlistment by "recruiting" an entire population of an area as a unit and forcing them to fight together. Other forms of forced recruiting included soldiers of defeated armies and the use of conscripts. The most sought after combat soldier was the veteran and many times a veteran would move from army to army depending on which one would make him the most money.

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.

Volunteering to me is more meaningful than being forced to be there. I know if i was forced to be somewhere i would be way more upset than if i volunteered to go. If we force individuals to draft into the military i also believe that it takes away the “American character”. If you send thousands of people to war when they don’t want to be there, it sends other countries the message that we aren’t free. We aren’t free if we are pushed to enlist into a military with the chance that our lives could be taken. Several people just aren’t made to do physical or athletic things such as war. If this is such a great country why shouldn't we be able to volunteer and not be

Outside of tax incentives (Dewitte, 2013), there are many benefits to hiring veterans in your workforce. From first hand experience, I have seen the dedication to mission, unwavering focus, drive, initiative, motivation, and standards of excellence that many veterans practice. As the daughter of a 23-year, twice deployed, disabled Army veteran and now a wife to a twice-deployed, career Army husband, I can attest to these characteristics and believe they make most veterans extremely valuable assets for an organization. Other important quality veterans bring to the table is their leadership capabilities, practical on-the-job training and experience (Dewitte, 2013), the ability to collaborate and work in teams, ability to work in stressful environments, and experience with workforce diversity.

Preferably, the men and women of a nation’s army should be loyal to their country, motivated, focused and hardworking, amongst other admirable qualities. These types of men and women don’t join the army because they had to, they wanted to. They are volunteers. The U.S. should not create their army by draft because some draftees never wanted to join the army, let alone fight for their country. Having unmotivated or unpatriotic members leads to an unsuccessful army. Often times, draftees are difficult to direct and train because of their opposition. Additionally, the draft is unnecessary because there are more than enough volunteers willing to fight for their country.

If I had a ticket of any kind, to go anywhere, to do anything, and anything could happen, I would want it to be a bus ticket to take me straight to any marine corps recruiting office to enlist in the corps to serve my beloved country. Of course you’re probably thinking, What? Why this? All my life i’ve had everything great but my life is not yet complete, I haven't given anything back to the people or our country for making me the person I am today, but now I have finally found a way to give back.

United States Army Recruiting has gone through numerous challenges in war time. Even during the peace time, recruiting command engages on real time mission day after day, month after month. I can clearly say that the command was in war of accomplishing mission of providing strength of all volunteer Army well before the 911. It takes a gut, total commitment, and winner's attitude for accomplishing mission regardless of the situation. I am really glad that I am in the honored profession called Army Recruiting that gave me so much of what I am supposed to be and better person period.

Utilitarianism is a universal teleological system. It calls for the greatest good for the greatest number, meaning that whatever is beneficial to the greatest number of people is good, whereas whatever benefits the least number of people is otherwise. From the utilitarian stance, surrogacy may be morally right because the intended parents receive a much-desired child. In the case of commercial surrogacy, the surrogate mother receives a reward in form of payment, and in altruistic surrogacy, the surrogate (who acts voluntarily) gives the “gift of new life” (Saxena, Mishra & Malik, 2012). If a surrogacy is to unfold smoothly, then from a utilitarian stance, it is good; as the greater numbers of people are happy. Even in the application of the

Utilizing a surrogate mother to carry our potential child is the choice for us. Initially, the idea of exchanging a baby for money is a process that appears emotionless and materialistic, but when one looks at the reasoning behind the decision, it proves to be just the opposite. In chapter 6 of Moral Choices: An Introduction to Ethics it refers to Altruistic Surrogacy as, an arrangement without a fee, occurs when a close friend or family member functions as a surrogate solely out of a generous desire to impart “the gift of life”. (Rae, p. 252) I believe we have many women in our life that would be willing to help us out. These helpful women would understand that I may have a life-changing illness or simply unable to bear children.
