What's your opinion on Mandatory military service?

To me the ideal is that you build a homeland that your people will run to defend and will die to maintain of their own free will...when you have to force people to do that I feel like it says something maybe not-so-good about your nation

I guess that my country had brief periods of that when there were drafts. Not quite what you're asking, but close enough.

I'm not fighting any wars that aren't mine, and shame on people who would do that willfully.

I'd look into border hopping if there were drafts again, although someone my age would probably be too old.

Ah, the military. I do not support being forced to join a big organization of honorable potential murderers.

it's dumb but also kinda funny cause I think it made bts (the grp) do military service.

It shouldn't be mandatory! Then again nobody should need a military cuz nobody should be at war!

I don't like the military I only like them to sexualise them. Big men in uniform heart eyes. And I think mandatory military service is insanely stupid.

We have that here. When you do not want to be a soldier you can do social work instead. However the budget of our military cannot support so many soldiers so they at the moment only accept volunteers.

War (which is what the military is ultimately for) is evil, and coercion is evil, and it's basically slavery, and I thank my lucky stars I never had to do military service. But from a purely pragmatic perspective, given the worldview of certain countries or their leaders, or the worldview of humanity in general, mandatory military service may be necessary in some countries.
