Do you think every one should requierd to join the military for 2 years after high school?

Question

in your opinion

Answer 1

Yes I strongly believe that you should be required to serve your country for at least 2 years once you graduate highschool.

Answer 2

It is my opinion that there should be a required 2 year draft for all adult males, regardless if they finish high school or not. Once you turn 18 you would be required to serve your 2 years. I believe that a 2 year draft would build discipline in an undisciplined youth with declining values.
If it were required that all males serve, and not even having rich parents could get you out of it, it would help to erase some of the stigma that the military is for poor uneducated members of society. It has also been pr oven that countries that have a required draft also have lower crime rates. Best to wait until there is no war before you institute a draft though.

Answer 3

heck yes, that would be one way to solve the high tuition costs for higher education in the US. You go do whatever is available as a 2 year program and get a couple college credits while you're in. Then, you get out, finish your other 2 years (paid for by the govt) and then you've got yourself a Bachelors. If the govt knew they'd wind up paying for it, tuitions would definately be lower.
I guess it should be optional, but there should be more 2 year programs in the military. Four years is a long time when you think about it.

Answer 4

We haven't had a draft since the early 1970s here in the USA,so,by law,it's not required.

However,all young men in the USA between the ages of 18 - 25 can register for what is called Selective Service.

I've seen it "advertised" in local post offices.

Anyone who enlists in any branch of the US military has to take a physical and also a series of written exams.

That's how it was when I enlisted in the Army National Guard in 1978. I graduated from college first.

I was in the Army from 1979 to 1983. Overall,it was a good experience,and, I'm not sorry I did it.

There was,and still are,many good jobs & career opportunities in all branches of the US military.

I hope you find this answer helpful.

Answer 5

no, i have seen too many people who actually volunteered and then had to leave because they didnt fit in or couldnt take the hard work. yes military is short on recruiting now but id rather have someone that wanted to join instead of someone who is only there for 2 years and doesnt want to be there in first place which might cause a problem in the long run

Answer 6

Not mandatory military service per say but maybe mandatory civil service with military being an option. In the military, I'd rather have a volunteer at my side rather than some draftee who probably tried and will try to do anything to get out of service

Answer 7

No. The military is only as powerful as its members. If its members do not want to be there, are resentful, or even just a little angry, then the military would fall apart. We are lucky that so many men and women are willing to fight for us, for we have a strong military protecting us, and making it mandatory would only serve to weaken it.

Answer 8

Nope, to many people.

4 million highschool seniors graduate each year.

With your plan, thats over 8 million service members.

Not including how many people would be needed to supervise all those new recruits.

You would be looking at a military that had 10 million people.

We cannot afford that.

Answer 9

Hell no. Then we would be like communist Russia, Nazi Germany, and Fascist Italy. Joining the military should be a personal choice, not drafted.

Answer 10

I wouldn't be opposed to some sort of required service, but only if non-military options were available.
