Replying to Mandatory Military Service
The mandatory voting thread inspired me to make a thread about another issue. Mandatory Military service is something I think should be required for 3 main reasons. 1. We would get into fewer wars if everyone in the nation had a son, daughter, or friend who was going to go overseas and risk their lives for the nation. 2. the split between military and non military would be eliminated and we could stop a lot of the animosity between the two and unite the nation. 3. I believe it would strengthen our nation as a whole and if we ever needed people to fight we would have plenty, not that we would ever need that and eliminate the need for a draft. I am thinking something like 2 years of service and it doesn't have to be simply as an infantryman (although everyone should get that basic training) but it would introduce people to all sorts of vocational training or other education. Lets keep this civil people. Discuss.
