Should People Have The Right To Serve In The Military

During the Vietnam War, the United States' government instituted a mandatory draft. Since it was mandatory, if a man's birthday was selected, he had to report to boot camp or face prosecution. This system was both fair and unfair; it was fair because it was not biased, and it was unfair because the men strongly disliked being forced to go to war. In times of war, the United States' government should not be allowed to institute a mandatory draft because it can cause severe mental issues and the young adults are not always prepared to take on the gruesome task of defending their country.

Having the draft and requiring that they either serve or go to jail is going to disrupted their career path or taint their background when trying to get future jobs. If a person were to refuse the draft and get sent to jail, then when they are finally released and they try to apply for a job, that charge could appear on the background check of the person and prevent them from getting a job. On the other hand, when they decide to join rather than be put into jail, they are taken away to train for military combat. That means that they are also taken away from being able to improve their skills in their career field. Not only will they lose the time to improve their skills in their career but they will also begin to lose skills that they gained from the career. They will be so focused on fighting, staying alive and how much time they have left being in the war that once they return to their job they will have to be trained again. Making their lives harder and the employers lives

Over the last ten years, at least over two million children are forcibly serving in the military, with them only being 10 years old or younger. Another conflict is that child soldiers are being isolated in many parts of africa, and are being used by armed groups as an ongoing conflicts like south asia, asia, and the middle east. Some governments have also recruited children under the age of 18 into their armed forces. One of their biggest challenges is to have freedom in their own hands without having to break the law.

There are many teens' in the world that do not want to serve in the military, so they should each have their own choice. Some teens are very weak, lazy, and will not do the right work for the military. If a person does not want to serve in the military, they will not even try to fight. If there are several people made to be in the

Young people that have to serve in the military may not like their country. Some people in foreign countries disagree with their way of life. Many try to escape to a country that will give them freedom and get them away from their harsh lifestyle. The families in these countries do not believe in the way their government is being run. Therefore, they do not want to risk their life for a country that has never gave them happiness and will never give back to them. Even some people do not believe in fighting at all.

Military service should be mandatory for all American citizens. In lighter terms we could refer to it as the All American Selective Service Act, which will require all Americans to register for Selective Service as equal partners in the defense of America (Rangel). The average person, at one point or another, considers what they are going to do with their lives. The military has something to offer everyone. Deciding what to do with your life can be filled with uncertainty and procrastination. Selective service offers invaluable experiences, improves character, teach much needed skills and increase patriotism or appreciation for freedom. Due to recent increase in riots regarding black lives matter and our new president elect it demonstrates that the average American citizens needs to experience the entire aspect of how America operates. It would be helpful for citizens to see another side of life instead of what they have been subjected to possibly their entire life. Some may say that Selective service violates our freedom, destroys voluntarism and diverts youth from college education or career pursuit but destroying our America by violent demonstrations and turning on one another should not be the American way (NYLN). So maybe by having the enriched military experience it will bring the American people together for a common goal which is to make American great.

There are nine billion children in the world as of right now. About 300,000 children soldiers that have been recruited to fight in the wars of world, and about 11,000 of them are in Africa. It may seem like a little amount, but if you think about it, that is a lot of kids! Many of them run from ages nine to eighteen years old. Could you imagine being an nine year old that has to know how to shoot a gun and kill people? Once they are done shooting the war isn't over because all those memories are still going to be glued in their minds for forever. Not only that, but the other soldiers are older and don't know how it is to experience war as a child. Girls and boys will have horrific memories that will never leave there mind. Child Soldiers

The average teenager experience involves going to high school football games and getting a first car, not being sent to Afghanistan and seeing death in combat. Yet, in the US it is possible for an inexperienced 17 year old to sign up for the armed forces. Seventeen is too young of an age to join the military, especially because a teenager’s brain is not fully developed.

Men and women of the age of 18 are most likely to be in the best shape of their lives. 18 year olds should be sent to the military because they are young, and fit. The training will have a more positive impact on them and their bodies will be able to handle it better than a 30 or 40 year old going through it. Also, by your mid to late 20's you may have a wife and kids that would be left behind. Drafting a single 18 year old is much easier handle.

President Trump has an unfair ban on accepting transgendered people to serve in any position in the United States military. This leaves thousands of able bodied militants unsure of their positions within the military. Transgendered military should be allowed to openly serve in the military as long as they are capable of it.

Choosing to be in the military force or any attribute to do with the service should be up to the recipient. Being thrown into the military force without having your own opinion is being hypocritical. When leaving high school students want to explore the world or they want to go straight to college. Interfering with their future is only going to make them work less hard for what they want in their future. Mandatory service is only going to be putting innocent people in harm’s way, it will make them believe that going to war is only way to solve a problem. Students or anyone for this matter will lose interest in volunteering in the future which will have a negative impact on their generation.

Serving your country in a time of war is a citizen duty much need by our constitution. If no one is protecting our country and our freedoms then what good is it to have them. Registering for the draft in a time of dire need like war is something needed by our constitution and government. The ability to serve and protect the country, its people, and contents of this land we so love is a obligation worth dyeing for. The draft though is only applicable to men of the age of at least 18 years of age. You are not automatically put into the armed forces but registered till a time when an armed force needs expanded in time of war which will draw names from those who registered. Serving in an organized militia or being drafted in a obligation needed by our government and constitution to ensure safety over this land and everything that it has and represents.

Starting off with the term “child soldiers”, it already seems as if this a bad thing for children. To give a brief explanation about child soldiers they are mainly children both boys and girls who under the age of 18 and are used for any military purpose. Child soldiers went in war and are told to fight as well as kill. Some countries may not have many people to put forth and army so they would need to have children involved. There are also some children out there who volunteer to join on their own because there are times when they separated from their family. “Child soldiers are right in the middle of a contradiction inherent in the modern construction of youth: innocents versus perpetrators. They are simultaneously feared and cast as innocents

Being in the military and civilian organizations are both rewarding and prideful. It shows sacrifice, pride for your country, and helps students to mature before really taking on the world and what it has to offer. With all of those points in mind, students should be required to serve at least one year in the military before enrolling in a college. Opposers will counter-back by saying that the army is dangerous and puts people in harm’s way, but supporters would disagree and say that it teaches kids how to stand up for the country and to do what is right.

John Gregory Dunne said, “Evading military service has a long history in American life.” Even though forced military service would strengthen the military, the federal service bill must be blocked because the law violates the free will of people, and it is very expensive.
