The military is a vary strict and demanding system, you should be forced to join because it is not meant for everyone. It takes strong people physically, and mentally some people are fit to be in the military.Another reason is medical reasons, some people may not be eligible to serve as demanded. Some people would just simply be scared fighting out on the front lines, that would cause them to flake and that could get them and their teammates killed. That is why people should not be forced to fight in the armed forces. People can just get scared out there with their troop. There are many dangers to be scared of or maybe, you just don't like to be far from home. Being scared can cause you to flake out and that can get not only you but your …show more content…
You not only have to be strong physically but mentally you have to be able to handle severe pressure and intense training and strategy. If you are not strong then you could not be able to carry out some of the orders or even carry some of the gear. It is also a lot of hard work because you have to go through training to test your strength and emotions. You have to be strong in both ways to be in the armed forces. A huge reason why countries should not make people join is due to medical reasons. This can be a big issue because some people need certain medicine and due to that they cannot do certain activities or drills. Some people may have withdrawals from the medicine or have break downs. Some medications could lead to serious injuries if doing if doing activities that you shouldn't do. This can lead to serious injuries or maybe death. The military is a strict system you have to be trained and fit. Some people in fact are not fit for the military physically and mentally. There are many reasons people are not fit for the job. Some people can get scared, not be strong enough, or because of medical reasons. Even though it can be hard and there is a risk people still jouin by will to protect the land they love. Forcing people to join the armed forces is a bad idea for many
Ever since the first war involving America started, there have been countless discussions on who should fight for our country. There are talks of age, gender, and if the service should be voluntary or not. In America, serving is voluntary, although, in other countries, it is not. The service should stay voluntary in America because if not, it would go against freedom and it would be a source of newfound problems within our country. Also, if youth took off two years of their lives to serve, they would not gain experience to work in the fields that need more work force.
Though there are many differences between an all-volunteer army and a draft; the quality of each differs vastly. “The pentagon has used ‘stopgap’ orders forcing soldiers who have fulfilled their contractual obligation to remain on active duty in order to keep troop levels at the level needed. This is a ‘back-door’ draft, forcing those who agreed to one set of conditions to continue serving, so that others might never have to put in any time”(Wright). Fighting in World War I or World War II many soldiers were faced with living in harsh conditions, dealing with horrible infections and even horrible deaths, strictly because of the quality of living. In more recent years with the improvements of technology the conditions are not as gruesome. “Moreover, with about 2 million men turning 18 every year, the number of prospective draftees vastly outnumber the needs of the military even during periods of conflict like Iraq and Afghanistan”(Kramer). “Despite a rough start, the AVF has been a brilliant ...
The protection of our country is not overlooked for recruits; they are awarded many personal benefits as well. Tuition assistance, job training, and many benefits that help prepare recruits for occupations while enlisted. Not only are students getting great benefits, but they are also in a small group of professional workers. High School students should be allowed to join the military, because it is a way to pay for college expenses. College is expensive.
... for the army instead of studying at school because of the ignoring of government for the education. Those kids are hurt mentally, they face so much blood. Youth take on the future of a nation. If kids are not educated well, how a country can grow. Without education, people loss knowledge, thinking, and ethics, and then, humanism goes away.
The idea that members of a community have the duty to defend it, is as old as civilization itself (Ruschmann 10). The United States has an extensive history, starting with the original thirteen States of involuntary conscription in time of conflict. Citizen’s service is a standard principle of American military service, which places the obligation of service upon citizens to serve and to ensure that the state require those citizens to serve (Dalehite and Birskyte 1). With this obligation, young people will be imbued with a sense of “duty” and being part of the collective effort in which everyone will have and do their part for the benefit of the nation. Thereby, military service in the United States should be compulsory, because it will provide young adults with economic and social benefits that will give them a better understanding of commitment and sacrifice, making them better citizens and great assets to the nation.
In the past many believed that men should fight in the military for their country or nation. The Greeks and the Roman’s believed in this mandatory draft and so did some of the Americans at the birth of our country. One of the founding fathers of our nation even believed in the mandatory draft. America does have a draft, but this draft only occurs when our country in in a great time of war, like during World War II. In my opinion the mandatory draft should be part of our American lives for these reasons.
The military is not for everyone and making service mandatory will cause more problems for our nation and its people than it is worth. During my life I have lived in six different places over sixteen years and have spent years of that time separated from my mother because of the military. Not being able to have a stable environment during my childhood had its pro’s and con’s, but the loss of friends and constantly changing schools was still hard. The military forced my mother to move every three years, take classes that sent her away from her family and survive off of a military pay check. The path that my mother had chosen to take in her career was even one that the military had considered family-oriented.
It has long been a controversial topic of debate in the United States, whether or not our young men and women should be required to serve in the armed forces. There is proof that compulsory military service would be in our nations best interest. It has historically shown to improve military preparedness, and also has evenly balanced the burden of military service. It also helps to instill a sense of duty into those who serve. From an economic standpoint, there are numerous arguments to be made in support of conscription, including government savings. Numerous scholars write in favor of the subject as well. The government has been debating this topic since the draft system was removed from our country, and many reports written also offer strong arguments in its favor. Although there are strong arguments to keep the current all-volunteer system of draftees, it would be economically and militarily beneficial to re-impose the draft.
Mandatory military service, which is also known as military conscription, should be mandatory in the United States. Military conscription, a very tentative, subject among our country, have some who are for it, including all the benefits it has to offer and some who are extremely against it wholeheartedly. Many governments in history have used this strategy to build a large and powerful military that will be ready and developed in times of war and distraught. For example, the Qin Empire of China in 221 BC and the France during the French Revolution in the 1790s; Iran, Greece, Russia, South Korea, and Egypt are some of the countries that still use this tactic.
Mandatory military service is a course to make a fit and capable citizen. First of all, military service can help one's character . More specifically it gives good tools so that people can work well in a team, be more organized in everyday event and good discipline. Secondly, it can offer education to people in need. Furthermore it will help people in bad neighbourhoods or is living trough a thought time and give those without the means to be in a home and have a job. Thirdly but not least mandatory military service could be looked at as a dept owed to one's country, loved ones who are protected if ever needed and most important to our right to democracy.
Most people have, at one point or another, considered what they were going to do with their lives. Whether a person would like to become an activist, an artisan or a business professional, the military has something for everyone. Finding a path in life is often filled with uncertainty and procrastination. The United States military is a path in itself, should one wish to retire from it; however, should a person wish to make their own path, there are benefits for that as well that can remove all doubt and curb procrastination. Due to these many benefits, I believe that it should be mandatory for all adults to enlist for a minimum of twenty-four months.
Imagine being deliberately forced to unwillingly participate in an activity that you do not support? It would be extremely difficult for you to be dedicated and passionate towards that action. Envision being disconnected, detached and frayed apart from your everyday life style and loved ones. The pain and pressure would be unconceivable. These kinds of emotions are swarmed in the minds and hearts of millions of people in the age range of 18 to 28 in countries such as Iraq, Iran and Syria. Each young person is snatched away from their innate life, innocence, friends, and family in order to be drafted to the military. I do not support this policy because these venerable youth experience emotional tribulations, and mental instability from the trauma they have experienced in those two years, in addition this policy would be breaking the boundaries of the unalienable rights that each USA citizen is entitled to; it would go against the first amendment of personal freedoms and liberties. It would break the very core of American ideals and foundations. In contrast to common belief this policy would prove to be extremely costly and inefficient, raising the financial burdens placed on the American Economy. For these side effects I do not advocate the policy of intentionally forcing younger generations into unescapable military service.
The military would be really hard for many individuals who aren’t use to the intensity and do not have any experience. Girls would have a harder time during the
The first concern would be being that forcing someone to do something is taking their free will away. Also, not everyone is made for the military just as not everyone is made for sports. The reason the US's military is so strong is because it is voluntary. The people that make it through basic training are people who were built to do hard activities every day all day. Scott Smith was in the army, and he is what they call a forgotten veteran. This means he served in the military but because there were no wars others in the military do not consider him a veteran. He said, "I had to respect others in higher ranks. Calling them by their last name and ranking. Standing straight with my hands folded behind my back." He also said that a person must work through pain and personal issues. For someone to work through a broken toe or a deep cut they must have a very high pain tolerance. Not everyone can do
Physical training is a very essential part of the army culture. Physical fitness has a direct influence on their combat readiness which also ties into needing to be mentally and physically tough. Being physically fit allows you to be productive and also gives you the opportunity to enjoy even the little things in life. It also allows you to be able to adapt and survive through tough living conditions. Having the proper diet and exercise can improve a person’s quality of life. Maintaining a high level of fitness helps you perform at higher levels throughout your life. Healthy muscles are less susceptible to to injury, less likely to tear and give in to stress. Which is why it’s important to take care of your body. Soldiers who don’t meet military fitness standards risk being discharged or maybe disciplinary actions.
