Yes, but this should be a period of 3-6 months and not necessarily a full year, and this military training should be rigorous and professional. If it would be for a minimum of a year proposed by the government then it should be part time for 18 year olds that are going into employment or any education and/or if they're participating in elite sports representing their country internationally.
@9D7J94Q10mos10MO
Yes, and regular education should include lessons on handling firearms.

@spaceUnicorn0182yrs2Y
Yes, but only because the country is currently in a complicated geopolitical situation
@93T2Z952yrs2Y
Yes, they should be required to provide at least 2 years, but only in the reserves, which includes mandatory boot camp and training.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but also include First Responder as an alternative to military service
@93BW4X42yrs2Y
Citizens should be required to provide service in some form, but not required military service.
@92ZYZRW2yrs2Y
There should be two years of mandatory service or 4 years and immunity to the draft or further conscription.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
No, every citizen should be armed and receive training however.
@LiamHal786386402yrs2Y
Yes but make combat roles optional

@8ZRVN7J2yrs2Y
No, service should be a choice. The people we'd be mandating to serve would do more harm than good.
@8ZGR65P2yrs2Y
no unless they are able to drink and or smoke after
@8Y6XX9F2yrs2Y
Yes, I believe it will benefit society.
@8YT8Q572yrs2Y
Those physically and mentally able should but those who arent shouldnt
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, but enforce anyone aged 18+ and of either sex to conscript in the event of a major war
@AaronAmede2yrs2Y
Yes, 4 years of service in the reserves in exchange for 4 years of college tuition free.
@8XNT9ZQ2yrs2Y
The military does not want criminals, they like people who have education and skills. Few children at age 18 know what direction they want to pursue, public service for a year - be it military or other service would be very beneficial to aiding maturity for youth. Colleges today generally prolong adolescence.
@8T2WB2B3yrs3Y
Yes, with the option of national service rather than military service. (E.g. community involvement programs)
@8SSR7YY3yrs3Y
everyone that is able should have to have some kind of tie with the military because it is a good way of motivation and experience
@7VSJ8PL3yrs3Y
Yes, but allow for people to opt out for public service instead
@8S6JHGR3yrs3Y
yes, to make them better people
@Maxx485038003yrs3Y
Yes, but with a possible deferment to the Army Corp of Engineers. There they can learn a trade and help rebuild American's crumbling infrastructure.
@7NN387N3yrs3Y
No offer voluntary self defense classes instead
@3H2PX7K3yrs3Y
No, but everyone should be required to do two years of some sort of service work (military, government, nonprofit, etc.)
@8RQ55J43yrs3Y
No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation and abolish selective services
@8R5FPDD3yrs3Y
No, not military service, but public service.
@8QVWDD73yrs3Y
No, Requiring Someone to serve in the military is unconstitutional
@8QG5XSM3yrs3Y
only if we are in times of crisis
@5PYQTKR3yrs3Y
Yes, but it should be military or other public service
@7W3SBDC4yrs4Y
No, this would be a giant waste of money and resources. There is no need, there are more men and women enlisted than ever to where they're having to cut bak on enlistment benefits. Also having people who don't want to be there will cause trouble and it will get to the point where they'll have these mandated people piecing a puzzle together for a days work (the supply will exceed the demand).
@MilesBHuff4yrs4Y
Yes, but these draftees should not be sent outside the US
@buday4vancouver4yrs4Y
1 year health screening and training, to see if they like it. No combat or tours.
@4ZTD62K4yrs4Y
No, however it should be an alternative to prison like it used to be.
Deleted4yrs4Y
It should be voluntary.
@6HDD83R4yrs4Y
the age of enlistment should be at 21 years, joining the military should be on a voluntary and unpaid basis rather than mandatory (e.g. conscription)
