Should every 18 year old citizen be required to provide at least one year of military service?

No, but every citizen who studies in Government Colleges should work in a Government Company for atleast 2 Years.

Yes, but most importantly the focus should be on cultivating the mindset and discipline of a military personnel with basic self defence and rescue courses

i think, no, it should not be mandatory.but ncc should be compulsory for fit students till class 12th.

school should incorporate some basic military training of 2 year which is spread between 6 year 6th class to 12 helps in building disciplines and good character and help in self defence and organisation

Yes, unless the person has any condition which would make it difficult for him/her to pursue military service

No , But With More Focus On Military Traing And Less Focus On Education And Skill Development

No, but a person should positively contribute to the nation.

Yes but those who are fit for service along with others left being trained for survival skills, education and skill development.

No, it should be a choice. although such a short service scheme can be initiated for attracting more students.

No, conscription in a country the size of India is too costly.

Yes, but for those who do not wish to pursue further education, and with the same amount of focus on military training and education and skill development, and it should be at least two years of service

Every education institution from schools should mandatorily provide basic military skills, Yoga, training in ancient skills like kalari, and the best should be selected from them to give additional military training depending on the place they should be assigned, like in arunachal pradesh mountain hiking skill etc., particular skill should be required to particular area because of diverse areas and situations in our country, they should be selected permanently as a military officer depending on their skill set

Military service should be made an attractive career option. Compulsory conscription leads to well-trained fighters who can use their skills to the detriment of a society already having deep inequalities.

Yes and choice to opt out voluntarily

No, this is a security risk

No, but it should be promoted more.

Only hindus should get military training

Yes, so that they can survive during natural calamities. Self defence skills must be improved for every person

Ideally Yes, but current education system need to be reformed for the same.

Of course at least 2 years not 1

Yes, but only for those who are starting to build a criminal record and the focus must be more in skill development and less on military training.

It matters on population . For country like Israel it's good for india there is already a huge military

Yes but more as part of self defence technique than a proper military training

yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on social service

Ideally it should be based upon free will, so I would say no. However, if a country has a very low population, it cannot easily get sufficient voluntary conscripts who're willing to serve a fixed period of service. Such countries have no other option than to impose mandatory service of 1-3 years upon its graduating students. This wouldn't be all required if no country strived to maintain a military.

It should be for all with opt-out facility. The default is opt-in.

Only in case of invasion

Yes, giving the option of the military, fire department or Charitable organisations

Only kshatriyas should serve in Indian army

According to the Geopolitical situation of the time.

government should not force everyone. but if some one is interested then they can take him

Yes, but not compulsory for everyone as the population is too large

There should be compulsory 4 years military training for men and 3 years military training for women

No, it is Impractical for India and should be a choice.

Yes, especially when you are going in a government job which has less accountability to people

No, it will degrade the quality of soldiers

Nor compulsory but everyone should be made aware

Yes, until someone has severe physical problems.

No, but there should be compulsory service in wartime

No, Military training should be given to all

Indian Army is self sufficient to fight wars on 2.5 fronts at a time.

Only for healthy individuals

First they have to check their medical reports and check whether they are willing to serve their country or not.

yes for one year

Every 18+ should be given basic training so that all can self defense and can be ready if call by defence.

Yes, it should be two years of service but the citizen should have a choice between military or civil service through a system like Americorps.

No, unless we are in war, then enlist as many 18 year olds as possible. But when were not in war, not everyone is fit to be in the military service, they will break.

No, but provide more benefits for service to encourage young people to enlist.

No. I do belive that giving some young adults the option of going into the military instead of going to prison for some offenses would be beneficial in many ways. One it would help rehabilitate them and give them a sense of pride and honor. It will also strengthen our national defense.

if the military needs help

No, Requiring Someone to serve in the military is unconstitutional

No, not military service, but public service.

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation and abolish selective services

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.

yes, to make them better people

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

Yes, with the option of national service rather than military service. (E.g. community involvement programs)

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.

Yes, 4 years of service in the reserves in exchange for 4 years of college tuition free.

Yes, I believe it will benefit society.

No, service should be a choice. The people we'd be mandating to serve would do more harm than good.

There should be two years of mandatory service or 4 years and immunity to the draft or further conscription.

Yes, but only because the country is currently in a complicated geopolitical situation

They have freedom to choose there carrier.

1 year health screening and training, to see if they like it. No combat or tours.

No, but enforce anyone aged 18+ and of either sex to conscript in the event of a major war

Yes, they should be required to provide at least 2 years, but only in the reserves, which includes mandatory boot camp and training.

No, Milton claimed that conscription is inadequate in capitalist countries

No, Milton Friedman argued that conscription was unfair in capitalist countries.

No, Milton Friedman argues that conscription is unfair in capitalist countries.

It should be voluntary.

No, Milton Friedman argues that conscription is unfair in a capitalist country..

in times of war

only if we are in times of crisis

Those physically and mentally able should but those who arent shouldnt

no unless they are able to drink and or smoke after

Not unless nessasary.

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)

No, that is a fascist policy

No, however it should be an alternative to prison like it used to be.

Yes, but it should be military or other public service

service should be a choice instead of an obligation

No, but should incentivize National Service (including military) bonus for those who serve (such as tuition, education, financial reward of mortgage/rent and/or 401K pension programs).
