890 Words4 Pages

Rick Warren once said “Military service, they don 't call it service for nothing. You are actually serving your country. And it is a worthy and valid vocation”. Talking about the military service is very important and serious topic as it is considered as a strategic national security issue. Around the world there are many countries debating and have many ways of how the military service should be. Each political regime has its way to deal with this issue. Some countries make the military service an obligatory thing like: South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, and Egypt. And some countries make it an optional thing or in another words an voluntary military service like: the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. The question here is what is the best way to deal with the military service? Should it be a mandatory or an optional thing? If obligatory what is the pros of it? This topic is a very debatable. However in my opinion the military service should be mandatory to defend the country from any external danger and to protect the borders. Some have many concerns …show more content…

  • The Pros And Cons Of Military Conscription In The United States?

    1353 Words  | 6 Pages

    Rough Draft: Military Conscription in the United States Throughout the history of the United States, military drafts have failed to produce their desired effect. Mandatory military service inherently causes an increased military presence, especially within a country containing extensive involvement with foreign affairs. Controversy has historically surrounded military drafts in the United States as often, the wealthy have been successful in avoiding service. Because the issues surrounding a military draft outweigh the pros, the concept of military conscription has become unpopular and the United State 's military has proven itself effective with the current system based on voluntary service. Therefore, the United States should not adopt military conscription because not only would it provoke an increased number of military conflicts and inequality, but also would be unpopular and unnecessary.

    The United States is a nation that was created from war. America’s first war was fought for independence from Great Britain and is arguably the proudest victory in history for Americans. Our key freedoms may have been thought of in the mind of our founders, but they were won on the battlefield. The United States has since then become one of the freest countries in the entire world. No other country’s military could come close to the greatness of the United States’ military.

  • Military Draft Mandatory

    211 Words  | 1 Pages

    I feel that the military draft should be mandatory for individuals to perform at least a year for public service because I think it will benefit the communities by helping and to volunteer to make the communities a better place to be. The consequences that the military draft to be mandatory for individuals to do public service is that in the future, the citizens of the communities would eventually make protests and claim that they should not be obligated of what they should do. I think that both men and women should be mandated to military service so that it would be equally fair for both genders. I think the program would not fit within the American notions of liberty for the reason that it has to do with someone 's way of life, behavior, and

  • Against Conscription In Canada

    652 Words  | 3 Pages

    During the conscription crisis of 1917, Canada was still a relatively young and inexperienced country, and did not yet have the capability or independence to deal with such an issue. However, one question was made clear to all Canadians… could national unity be maintained throughout the crisis? In 1939 Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King made the same promise to that of his predecessor Robert Borden; in Canada, there would be no conscription and all military service would be voluntary. “Conscription if necessary, but not necessarily conscription” was a statement made by King during the Plebiscite in 1942 and just like Borden, he too had broken his promise to Canadian citizens. Twice now in Canada 's history, conscription has demonstrated to be a poor “solution” that is not only destructive to the patriotism and unity that Canadians had struggled to build, but also resulted in the division of families, the separation of francophone and anglophone

  • Military Draft Benefits

    Throughout history, countries are inevitably pulled into conflicts that result in war. These conflicts usually occur because of interests in: economic gain, territorial gain, religion, and nationalism. America, like every country, needs a military to defend itself, especially when tensions arise in other parts of the world and when militia numbers start to decrease. This then allows the government to draft its population to serve in the military. People argue that young men and women’s bright lives are often cut short, and not allowed their Constitutional right to “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”, but there are many benefits for the nation and the individual by serving one’s country.

    Ever since the early 1940s, young men across the country have been forced to enlist in the selected services. Regardless of these men’s plans for the future, it was expected of them to lay down their lives for their country. While the military draft was intended to strengthen the American army, it also strengthened the arguments made by antiwar protestors. Why should people have to die for a cause they do not believe in? This was the question numerous American citizens were asking themselves throughout the entirety of the Vietnam War.

    Commitment, dedication, and motivation are the three most important values when joining the military. Background checks and months of training are required to ensure that the best is selected to stand strong as one for the best interest of all. Regardless of the requisites, hundreds of individuals devote their time to become part of the US military, unfortunately it is not meant for everyone. Even though the system tries to ensure that only the strong get chosen, it has been proven to be flawed. For example, ex-military personal, like Robert (Bowe) Bergdahl, have left base camps or leaked information to express their feelings towards the military.

    The overarching goal of this assignment is to provide not only specifics to some of the proponents and distractors of the Montgomery GI Bill but to take a brief historical look at how the concepts and ideas of veterans benefits have changed in only a few generations. We are now at a time when most everyone at least on the surface supports veteran related issues and the term “military friendly” has been officially trademarked. We have even come to the point that if you disagree with policy decisions concerning military operations, you are in real danger of being labeled as someone who “hates the military” or “doesn’t support the troops”. We have went from opponents of the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act to the passing of the “Forever GI Bill”

  • Argumentative Essay: Is Conscription Good Or Bad?

    1110 Words  | 5 Pages

    In most cases, people often do better in situations that they want to be in. By demanding men to go to war when they rather be somewhere else, they are not going to do their very best. If you have 60% of men who do not want to be there and only 40% of men who want to be there, your army force will not do as well if you had 100% of men wanting to be there. According to the University of Warwick, they proved that people who are happy work harder than people who are unhappy, in their study they said, “They found happiness made people around 12% more productive, while unhappy workers proved 10% less productive.” This statistic shows that forcing people to enlist will not make their army force better and stronger, in fact it does the exact opposite.

    In the United States, serving in the military is seen as a model of true patriotism, and rightfully so. Service members train for 10 weeks in their transition from civilian to a soldier. They train to be able to endure all the hardships that may come their way. Service members have to be in the best physical shape to serve and because of all that they do, they are thought of as brave and selfless people. Service members make extreme sacrifices to defend our country and act selflessly by doing so; it is fitting that they are seen as heroes by many Americans.
