There should be more encouragement for military and should provide more perks and keep a protocol for 70% of things which should only be accessed if you have served for military for 6 months to 1 year compulsory without any breaks under severe training.

 @9WY3DY9answered…2mos2MO

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

 @9ML9W2NIndian National Congressanswered…7mos7MO

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

 @9HR7CTBIndependentanswered…12mos12MO

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

 @9H4VTF2Bharatiya Janataanswered…1yr1Y

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

 @9FXJ4SNanswered…1yr1Y

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

 @8QN2GY3answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8QK28KCanswered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8QBF5H5answered…4yrs4Y

 @8WLD3F9answered…3yrs3Y

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

 @9CQYLY8Independentanswered…1yr1Y

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.

 @9CQ6WD2Bharatiya Janataanswered…1yr1Y

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.

 @9CQ2LHSIndependentanswered…1yr1Y

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.

 @9CPZZCGBharatiya Janataanswered…1yr1Y

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

 @9CPXFS2Independentanswered…1yr1Y

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

 @9CPVJC4Independentfrom Georgia  answered…1yr1Y

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

 @9CPMXSNCommunistanswered…1yr1Y

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.

 @9C6DQJJMarxist Communistanswered…2yrs2Y

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

 @9B97TLZfrom Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

 @99GLX4MIndependentanswered…2yrs2Y

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

 @99DLQSPBharatiya Janatafrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

 @95JMZXFanswered…2yrs2Y

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

 @8XXCPCZBharatiya Janataanswered…3yrs3Y

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

 @8PSRSQ2Bharatiya Janataanswered…4yrs4Y

 @8MD9V5Fanswered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8PQHF36Bharatiya Janataanswered…4yrs4Y

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

 @moglenmo from Florida  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

 @8JQ6Q2H from New Jersey  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

 @8JN8BGC from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @LangworthyUS9th from Michigan  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

 @8QVWDD7 from Michigan  answered…4yrs4Y

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

No, Requiring Someone to serve in the military is unconstitutional

 @8R5FPDD from Pennsylvania  answered…4yrs4Y

  @8RQ55J4 from Nebraska  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @Maxx48503800 from California  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

 @8SSR7YY from Tennessee  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8T2WB2B from New York  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8XNT9ZQ from Florida  answered…3yrs3Y

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.

 @AaronAmede from Maine  answered…3yrs3Y

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

 @8Y6XX9F from Massachusetts  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8ZRVN7J from Connecticut  answered…3yrs3Y

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

 @92ZYZRW from Missouri  answered…3yrs3Y

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

 @spaceUnicorn018 from VI  answered…2yrs2Y

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

  @buday4vancouver from Washington  answered…4yrs4Y

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

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

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

 @93T2Z95answered…2yrs2Y

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

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but also include First Responder as an alternative to military service

 @93BW4X4 from California  answered…3yrs3Y

Citizens should be required to provide service in some form, but not required military service.

 @3H2PX7Kanswered…4yrs4Y

No, but everyone should be required to do two years of some sort of service work (military, government, nonprofit, etc.)

 @8YT8Q57 from Indiana  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8ZGR65P from Florida  answered…3yrs3Y

 @6HDD83R from California  answered…4yrs4Y

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)

 @78S5M87 from Wisconsin  answered…4yrs4Y

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).
