I am totally against drafting, for a government to mandate anyone to serve in the military is beyond me. I believe it should be voluntary and those who enlist reep at least some benefits when they return. How about a paid education or at least some type of compensation. Having some type of benefits to attract those who want to volunteer to serve their country. I don't think drafting should be mandated, unless of course that is the last resort..

I think military service is not such a bad thing - as long as it is ONLY training NOT active service.
It seems criminal to send young men who are still training and have not volunteered or chosen it as a career, into active duty.

its a total bullshit that boys become "men" in the army, your men can also become "men" as well in prisons.
the army in my country is also a cruel place for many boys at 17, just in my tiny village of 300 houses, 1 committed suicide, 1 returned home as a mental and physical invalid totally incapable to live a normal life, another nextdoor boy returned mental (who was a such great boy with a super sense of humor who graduated school with excellent grades) today is someone strange and insane.
the army must voluteery and professional, for some who feel its their menlike place.

I am pro mandatory military service. 18 months.
Bush would have never had public support to enter Irak with the military including the sons of congressman.
Also, the two most important wars on the 20th centrury were won with a drafted army, WWI and WWII.
Many if not most european nations require a minimum military service.
So many kids finish high school with no clue what to do with their lives. Two years of maturity in service would give us better members of society. Exposing the best of the best to the military will only give us a stronger and better military...

Actually as much as I hate war and all it entails, if there is a military,I think the military draft is a good thing.
My reason for this is because it involves the whole citizenry in any military project.
I've seen the change in the US since we have abolished the draft. Now it's only a certain segment of society who are actually involved.
When ALL the citizens are involved in the defense of the country, the citizens are more aware and involved.
