Yes

the polish government requires military service. ask any polish person and they will ,most-likely tell you that they are proud to be polish

As an educator and mother, I think all qualifying males and females that are not going to college or furthering their education after high school should be required at least, 1 year of military service/training. Furthermore, if a qualifying student chooses to drop out of high school they must give at least, 4 years of service/training while obtaining their GED. 1.) I feel this will detour many (especially, those in low socioeconomic status) students from dropping out and/or cause students to take responsibility for their education (I.e. take it serious) while in school. 2.) This would provide experience and education that these students would not otherwise partake in. 3.) Crime would go down…less people in jail/prison later in life.

If another country were to allow this law where 1 year of military service is mandatory their entire nation would instantly evolve they would overpower the U.S. military and the U.S. would be embarrassed and that would make other countries question on how reliable the U.S. would be if a war were to breakout.

Military service is like school but better and teaches respect and discipline as well as simple things like math and also it's important to know how to shoot and fight these days

Obesity rates are very high and the US enlistment rate is dropping, mandatory enlistment would promote physical activity

First, it allows citizens to learn and train together, creating that shared experience of having served in the military.

For starters, the obesity rates would go down because of the rigorous training you have to do. Second of all you prove commitment to the USA.

Having military experience and the things that you learn in the military, can be really helpful in day-to-day life, like in a job position where discipline can be helpful

I would argue it teaches people to be subordinate and dogmatic, and can also support the violent, alt-right pipeline.

We need to buff up the country. If there is a war, most US citizens will probably not fight at all. The USA is devolving.

You'll have access to the Montgomery GI Bill, healthcare, and other amenities such as access to military bases.

Switzerland has a program of military service that is required to be a citizen there. This lead to more knowledge of guns and has lead to a much lower gun violence statistic. If the US were to implement it, it would lead to much safer environments around the US.

Mandatory military service strengthens national defense and builds life skills. For example, Israel and South Korea maintain highly trained forces through conscription, while studies show veterans gain leadership, discipline, and teamwork skills that improve career prospects and civic engagement.

any major military power requires service due to having a strong stable military and the ability for their citizens to have some form of military training will reduce crimes and the unlikely hood of an invasion

Builds national cohesion and is a great way for young people to feel part of something important early on and learn civic responsibility

Mandatory military service cultivates a strong national defense, fosters a sense of integrity, and instills discipline in the individuals who serve.

Many young Americans lack the basic skills to become self-sufficient and would rather live on the backs of others. Additionally, many lack a moral compass, live in an alternate reality, and blame others for their misfortunes. I see it every day and it's quite sad.

Stronger military, more experienced population in the event of invasion/homeland defense, citizens will have a larger focus on America as a whole and not themselves all the time, they will take more pride in this country.

If the idea of military service is a bridge too far, then a compromise for me would be civil service of some type. 1 year of military service, or 2 years of civil service. My idea's heart being, young people hopefully will learn the idea of selfless service and gain a greater perspective, otherwise maybe they wouldn't have.

If you compare American young men with other contries' which have mandatory military service, Americans are way softer. Or even in our country, compare city-boys with young men from southern parts of america. The gap is insane.

Americans are currently suffering from many issues like obesity, dumbness, depression, etc. By having Mandatory Military Service, they can promote things like health, intelligence, and give them a purpose.

Context: From my own experience I’ve seen enough incompetent people in the workforce. Any education or experience gained from this would have helped all of these people.

it would make the country more safe due to all the cititzens having military experiance from attaks ,health issues and it would change citizens mental and phisical health

Center for Disease Control and Prevention- More than 7 people die every hour of violence. Military demographics and statistics prove that 72.6% of men in the military are masculine, The military is 24.7% female and 17% are feminest .

like think about it. trying to make people pay to increase school funding is impossible. so lets just turn the military into school.

Adolescent depression is a serious problem in our society, with suicide rates increasing. This comes from loneliness and anxiety which is something the brotherhood of military service could fix

It would give America a better standing against china who already out numbers America in might. As I said before, this also strengthens the countries defense, as well as it gives that person discipline.
