Military Service and Its Impact on Economy and Education

Serving in the United States military is not for everyone, Some have different potential for getting into architecture or Technology jobs. If we started to throw Everyone into the army straight out of high school Who would fill in for collage degree level jobs? Well you have your answer, It's no one. coming home from the war some would be traumatized and wouldn't seek a higher education. Accroding to Helpguide.org 1 of every 3 soliders come home with PTSD.Thus the economy would start to fall and the United states would find themselves being less of a superpower everyday, Not everyone is built for the Mind Grueling and physical obstacles that someone in the army face. According to TeleGraph.Co.uk one Third of the people do not make it through the 24 week basic training.

Imagine How many wouldn't make it through this training if they didn't want to be there in the first place. The People who take interest in the army Will end up joining to protect there Family, Friends and their country. Being in the army is a serious job and can not be taken lightly. Why would you want someone on a serious mission that doesn't want to be there and is deeply afraid, This could cause others on the mission to be put at risk. Putting everyone into the army would but a risk that the U.S. could not afford.

Why do we need more people in our army when we are already considered the world's greatest super power?

Accroding to Worldatlas.com we have the worlds 2nd largest millitary. China has a larger military than us but are technology and money is far beyond them. Also there population is almost 4.5 times bigger than our own. With our army being this large already there is clearly no reason to force everyone into serving. According to WashingtonPost.com in 2011 we spent 718 billion dollars on our millitary. That alone is almost 1 eighteenth of our entire debt since 2001, so if we are trying to reduce the amount of money spent on military why spend money on troops that aren't need? Spending more money on the military would be a total waste considering we are already the superpower of the world. We are trying to lead countries into becoming democracies, not frighten them by adding more and more power to our military. Nationalinterest.org ran a poll and 54 percent of americans said we should convert back to isolationsim and bring our troops home. If this is what Americans want then why would we make more americans in soldiers. Making everyone in the united states serve is clearly the wrong path to

take.

Finally pulling people into the draft and making them leave their children behind Is not something to joke about. Leaving a child to grow up without a parent can lead to serious issues. Photius.com says that a child growing up parentless has a 2/7 chance of become emtionally distressed and becoming addicted to drugs. Emotionally unstable people can be a serious problem when you give them a gun to face their problems with. Which leads into the possibility of drafting a young boy who has emotional problems. Then you are going to send him to war not knowing what he feels like on the inside. This could lead to the deaths of many soldiers in a tight situation, or someone could go rouge against his or her own allies.To Join the army you should be tested on how strong you are metally, not just how you look. Lastly you could not draft anyone he has a disability of any kind, such as Tachycardia, being blind, or death. You could not possibly force people to serve when they live with conditions such as these. The Military isn'M for anyone, and that is why you cant force everyone to serve 2 or more years for his or her country.
