Students not giving the service their all and not being equipped to fight would lead to many deaths and many broken families hearts Where you follow orders or get shot, or by sending you to prison, which is nearly identical fate. The U.S. military has plenty of volunteers who sign up for duty. With enough benefits due to military service, plenty of Americans sign up willingly every year. Military service in the United States should never be mandatory. If the war is justified, enough people will join the force of their own volition. There are enough war-crazy nutters in this world who think they're gonna get a decent paycheck/pension, who is willing to sign up to the point where is that a draft is totally unnecessary. Besides which, you get sentenced to a life of isolation, moving from place to place, and crazy discipline for stupid reasons. Going into a war that I don’t want to be in, that is not necessary for my major, or really needed. Speaking from a student’s point of view, I don’t like to do things that are unnecessary. I try to avoid them at all cost because, what’s the point of doing something that is not required for my major. It will be a waste of time, and I would not give it my all. For most of the majors, we as students will not and do not need military training to succeed in our careers. It will be a pointless

    Compulsory military service would be a positive addition of responsibilities to our citizen body and would result in a safer, more responsible, and more united country. A population of generally well-trained and active people will do wonders for our general health and allow for a stronger, more vibrant nation that utilizes the potential and experience of its citizenry. Public service creates a channel by which Americans of all educational vocations and backgrounds can unite behind a common goal and building a strong America for the future. This has and will surely lead to a diminishing of class conflict and a promotion of diversity. Within the current system, the vast majority of people have no physical connection to the foreign policy decisions…

    Choosing whether a person wants the baggage of war or not should be their choice not forced upon them. Furthermore, it might not benefit an individual’s future career and be a complete waste of that individual’s time altogether. It makes no sense to force a person to do something that doesn’t even go with what they actually want to do. For instance, if someone wanted to become a singer than doing two years of military service would hold no importance to them.…

    We all know that an All Volunteer Force (AVF) has been the norm since President Richard Nixon inaugurated it in 1973. The AVF definitely proved to be the right decision and to this day we have the best military in the world. Our military will continue to get better, more professional, and more educated as the years pass by. What is incomprehensible is how we as Americans take the AVF for granted and do not educate or influence our youth to serve proudly in our country. While conscription is definitely not the answer to this problem, let’s show the American people that we can’t continue to enjoy our freedom without volunteers of able and willing men and women.…
