Should every 18 year old citizen be required to provide at least one year of military service?
@ISIDEWITH7yrs
No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation
@spaceUnicorn0187mos
Yes, but only because the country is currently in a complicated geopolitical situation
@93T2Z957mos
Yes, they should be required to provide at least 2 years, but only in the reserves, which includes mandatory boot camp and training.
@93HXJZ98mos
Yes, but also include First Responder as an alternative to military service
@93BW4X48mos
Citizens should be required to provide service in some form, but not required military service.
@92ZYZRW9mos
There should be two years of mandatory service or 4 years and immunity to the draft or further conscription.
@9334YP39mos
No, every citizen should be armed and receive training however.
@LiamHal786386409mos
Yes but make combat roles optional

@8ZRVN7J11mos
No, service should be a choice. The people we'd be mandating to serve would do more harm than good.
@8ZGR65P11mos
no unless they are able to drink and or smoke after
@8Y6XX9F12mos
Yes, I believe it will benefit society.
@8YT8Q571yr
Those physically and mentally able should but those who arent shouldnt
Deleted1yr
No, but enforce anyone aged 18+ and of either sex to conscript in the event of a major war
@AaronAmede1yr
Yes, 4 years of service in the reserves in exchange for 4 years of college tuition free.
@8XNT9ZQ1yr
The military does not want criminals, they like people who have education and skills. Few children at age 18 know what direction they want to pursue, public service for a year - be it military or other service would be very beneficial to aiding maturity for youth. Colleges today generally prolong adolescence.
Yes, but it should be a public service, not only a military one.
@8T2WB2B2yrs
Yes, with the option of national service rather than military service. (E.g. community involvement programs)
@8SSR7YY2yrs
everyone that is able should have to have some kind of tie with the military because it is a good way of motivation and experience
@7VSJ8PL2yrs
Yes, but allow for people to opt out for public service instead
@8S6JHGR2yrs
yes, to make them better people
@Maxx485038002yrs
Yes, but with a possible deferment to the Army Corp of Engineers. There they can learn a trade and help rebuild American's crumbling infrastructure.
@7NN387N2yrs
No offer voluntary self defense classes instead
@3H2PX7K2yrs
No, but everyone should be required to do two years of some sort of service work (military, government, nonprofit, etc.)
@8RQ55J42yrs
No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation and abolish selective services
@8R5FPDD2yrs
No, not military service, but public service.
@8QVWDD72yrs
No, Requiring Someone to serve in the military is unconstitutional
@8QG5XSM2yrs
only if we are in times of crisis
@5PYQTKR2yrs
Yes, but it should be military or other public service
@7W3SBDC2yrs
No, this would be a giant waste of money and resources. There is no need, there are more men and women enlisted than ever to where they're having to cut bak on enlistment benefits. Also having people who don't want to be there will cause trouble and it will get to the point where they'll have these mandated people piecing a puzzle together for a days work (the supply will exceed the demand).
@MilesBHuff2yrs
Yes, but these draftees should not be sent outside the US
@buday4vancouver2yrs
1 year health screening and training, to see if they like it. No combat or tours.
@4ZTD62K2yrs
No, however it should be an alternative to prison like it used to be.
Deleted2yrs
It should be voluntary.
@6HDD83R2yrs
the age of enlistment should be at 21 years, joining the military should be on a voluntary and unpaid basis rather than mandatory (e.g. conscription)
@8MGBV4L2yrs
@kgtiberius2yrs
No, but should incentivize National Service (including military) bonus for those who serve (such as tuition, education, financial reward of mortgage/rent and/or 401K pension programs).
@8LGKH272yrs
if the military needs help
@LangworthyUS9th2yrs
No. I do belive that giving some young adults the option of going into the military instead of going to prison for some offenses would be beneficial in many ways. One it would help rehabilitate them and give them a sense of pride and honor. It will also strengthen our national defense.
@8JQ6Q2H2yrs
No, unless we are in war, then enlist as many 18 year olds as possible. But when were not in war, not everyone is fit to be in the military service, they will break.
@8JN8BGC2yrs
No, but provide more benefits for service to encourage young people to enlist.
@moglenmo2yrs
Yes, it should be two years of service but the citizen should have a choice between military or civil service through a system like Americorps.
@85QWNPG2yrs
Yes, but only those with a criminal background and only if we have an abolition of both the 13th amendment, as well all incentives of both recruiters and prisons to meet quotas, would also add the abolition of private prison systems all together.
@8HQ9Y3F2yrs
Yes, and it should be at least three years they should also have access to insurance and education after serving.
@8GMPK8G2yrs
Yes but I think we should stay there till we are 21. We will have the discipline then and if we want out at 21 we will have a better view on things and can come out and have a better idea of what we want our future to look like.
