Introduction
The major argument in this article is that there is no longer a need for mandatory military training in the US. Although young people will gain from this, society and the industry will also be burdened by it. The military will become less effective if individuals are drafted into duty, the paper contends.
Discussion
Furthermore, since the volunteer system is expanding, national service does not necessarily need to be required. Along with the numerous volunteer options available around the country, there are currently several civil services volunteer programs and applications at these facilities frequently exceed funding and capability. It is supported by the fact that the military needs around 250.000 per year, and the number of potential recruits is more than 4 million. Moreover, as it was stated, generals want to pick the stuff, not choose between the drafted recruits. Finally, due to several factors, such as a lack of high school graduation or a criminal record, many are not eligible to serve in the military.
Conclusion
This argument also has an economic component. Losing young people who are already serving, providing for their families, or providing care for ailing family members during compulsory duty may be painful for families and communities. People’s entry into the work field would be delayed by mandatory service, which would cause some to lose a large amount of income. Even though participants in national service will acquire practical skills that will benefit them throughout their lives, it need not be a comprehensive, mandated national program.
