Mandatory Military Service

[Jusgunn3]

There are plenty of jobs that are not “combat” but most have to be done in a combat zone. Maybe the dentist stay out of harms way for the most part but the mechanics are out fixing things in the field. Guess it depends on the time and the branch and the current war situation.

Well they aren’t gonna gain a lot of purpose and discipline from killing other human beings. I promise you that.

I don't disagree.

I dont like mandatory service or the draft.
As a former Marine, I want volunteers next to me. Its a life they chose not forced into.
Im not say all who were drafted in wars like Vietnam didnt fight valiantly, alot did but I just dont believe in today's tech that we need it

Is there an issue with our current system that I'm missing? What problem is being discussed that draftees fix?
