Pros And Cons Of Mandatory National Service

Many countries require young people to serve two years of military service, and as we continue to have military conflicts across the world, some people have proposed that the united states adopt a similar type of policy of mandatory conscription. I believe that a two-year period of national service should be obligatory for all 18 year olds. It’ll help strengthen the character of youth, and will help increase the collective conscience of a nation and the restraint of leaders when considering military action. As we have 18 year olds go into the military, they should get the option in whatever kind of public service that suits his or her interest. Different genders across the world are frequently given different responsibilities. For example,

Some may find that mandatory national service is taking away from those who love and aspire to volunteer. Although this may be the case for some, mandatory national service could also be a good thing. For example, people that are unemployed could use this as a source of a job or even just something to fill their time. What of the working Americans? Is it right for all citizens to be required the same amout of service? All citizens would have to be treated equally whatever the out come is to be.

Do you think Americans should be forced to volunteer for some form of national service? Yes because in my opinion it should be required because there are soldiers overseas that fight for our freedom. Even if it was civilian service such as the police force or firefighter it should be required. It would be a good idea because if you think about it this way each and everyone of us has a job be it military or civilian service. Also if you look at it like this, with more civilian service the place we live will be safe just like with more national service.

For many recent years, facing the terrorism context happening in a few countries, people have lost too many things, such as lives, relatives, land, and houses after any attack. To build a powerful country and protect it from the attacks, a country needs to have available powerful military forces. Thus, a few countries require young people to serve their country two years of military service. By that way, some people think that the United States should adopt a similar policy of mandatory conscription for all young people who should serve a two-year period of national service. However, some others assume that serving in the military should be each individual’s choice. It means that the U.S forces would be unreliable and less powerful if unmotivated

Lots of people fulfill obligations beyond themselves that aren’t “public service”: helping to support a single mother; taking care of a sick grandparent; working so a significant other can afford school…Is it proper to compel those people to reallocate their time, so that they’re serving “the public” rather than their family, friends or neighbors? Everyone’s life is different and everyone finds ways to give back to their community in different way. Instead of forcing people to contribute, wouldn’t it be better to leave the decision to them and let them contribute in their own way, not just when they are 18-20 but throughout their adulthood lives? Volunteering is a treasured centerpiece of civic life in America and deserves public support, but we should resist letting its successes become an argument for mandatory national

How would you feel if your country made you serve in the military for two years? In some countries as soon as any young person turns eighteen they are required to serve in the military. It does not matter what their gender is. They could be female or male and the rules still apply. I completely disagree with any mandatory service in the armed forces. Some citizens may not like their country. They may not believe in fighting. No matter what juveniles should be able to choose how to live their life. One reason why I disagree with mandatory service is because some people may not like their country.

How many people do you know that volunteer? How many are forced to do it? United States citizens shouldn’t be required to serve one year of community service between the ages of 18 and 30. By forcing people to volunteer they won’t do it out of kindness, the United States will have a deeper debt, and there is no way to keep track.

I also agree that, adults between the ages of 18, and 30 should be required to complete one year of national service. I believe if you complete one year of national service, then you'll meet more poeple and the world can become a much nicer place. More poeple will respect you for who you are. If I could, i

Volunteering is an wonderful act that many Americans choose to do to help out the community, but should it be mandatory? Some people say that you should be required to complete at least 1 year of national service, and others say that Mandatory service would hurt volunteering in America today. Here's what I think.

I'd like to first start of by saying that it is our duty as humans to care for the needs of our fellow men and women. There's also different ways we can do such things. The question that has been raised for me is, how do I feel about being obligated to do national service? First of all, there is a way we can serve others besides mandatory service. What I'm referring to is volunteer work. Volunteer work is a great idea for all parties involved, you can give back when you are ready to, there is no set date in which you would have to do things. You can make your on schedule if necessary, and give in a time most conveinient for you. Also, you can feel a sense of pride knowing that what you gave was not out of necessity, but it was through your

Personally, I believe everyone could benefit from a year of mandatory public service in the military or community. This could offer individuals opportunities to experience physical and mental growth, also, exposure to different environments and lifestyles that he or she are otherwise not exposed to. I agree with mandating high school students to perform a year of public service as a requirement to graduate. This action could give them some direction with their career choices. R.O.T.C. could give insight to individuals considering a military career and community work can lead to many career choices, such as, social work, law, politics, education… Since education is mandatory for minors, amending the curriculum to include public service would

In todays society the war in the Middle East can be considered a controversial topic. The men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan put their lives on the line every day to help keep our country free. No one has forced them to serve in the United States Armed Forces they have made their own conscience decision to serve. However these men and women only make up a small percentage of the United States population. Should all men and women be required to serve in the U.S. armed forces when they graduate from high school or should the United States require mandatory military service?

Another benefit of mandating the service of young adults is that they would be disciplined and setup for success in life as a productive citizen of the United States. Military boot camp is designed to break the recruit down to where they are not better than any other recruit, and then they train them to do their best in every task they approach. This creates unrivaled discipline and extreme excellence in every operation the United States military executes. Not only will this be useful while in military service, but also when they begin to operate in the working world. This requirement will unify the working force as a result of the mandated service. Businesses will be able to work efficiently and accurately in all that they accomplish. Again, this will improve the United States as a country. Why would the United States refuse this mandate? The only reason would be that they bring the law down to the lowest denominator of the few people who argue with the benefits. These people might say that not all people are designed to be in the military. However, the military has jobs for every make and model. Every talent is useful to the military. Making young adult serve in the military for two years would actually give them time to figure out what their future career is meant to be. Some people cannot ever be satisfied, and would object to anything! On the contrary, decisions that have the abundance of benefits as mandating service for young

Making military service mandatory sound like it would be a good idea. This can give discipline, makes stronger citizens, but the reality is doing this takes away freedom and goes against the very foundations of what America is supposed to be. Mandatory military service should not be required for American citizens.

I think Congress shouldn’t make students join the military or public service after high school if they don’t want to. They should not make it mandatory to join after high school because they might want to go to college. If you think Congress shouldn’t make students join the military after high school, listen to this. Congress is trying to pass a law saying that it’s mandatory that students do 1 year of military or public service. Never in the history of our nation has there ever been a mandatory military service requirement and I have to ask why now. Students should have the right to say no, many people volunteer to join and risk their lives. People who don’t want to join won’t do as well as people who wanted to join. Service in the military should be a choice.
