Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

i think it should be up the people at the end of the day and they get to decide whether or not they want to proceed with it. they should receive warning and be educated on the matter beforehand though, but the ultimate decision is up to them.

the position should still be of choice, not only to the people who is capable, but they should also get a warning before hand about what will happen, and what might happen during their stay in the military.

Military training should be the first and most important part of the military, training and vigilance is needed for the defense of our country and near the end of service skill development and education should come into play.

i feel their should be at least a year i would say for training, only cause the world right now is obese, and mentally getting weaker each generation. Without a small bit of training we all as human in the U.S is weak and it will get weaker each moment.

I think we should spend more money on other things cus we really don't have to be fighting anything rn

I think there should be equal focus on education and training development. Although it's important to learn and develop educational skills it's important for physical training as well.

The military can be a dangerous occupation with lasting affects on your life. According to Brown University, the cost of war on U.S. veterans and families is steep. Many Iraq and Afghanistan veterans face a life of disability due to the physical and psychological injuries they sustain in war zones. At least 970,000 veterans have some degree of disability.

I like the idea of education, but there is a large demographic of 18-year-olds who are not physically or mentally suited for the military.

If soldiers are uneducated, what's the point of soldiers, they need to be intelligent on top of being skilled if they are to properly be effective in a combat setting, and education for all ages is important to help build up somebody's overall intelligence.

No one should be compelled to be part of military service unless it is for defense of the nation in wartime and enacted by Congress for a limited amount of time.

Since the military provides for education, people can go to colleges and universities without having the worry about spending a whole lot of money.

That is essentially just school. Why require millitary service if you're just going to be training them in education and skill development? Why not just incorporate that into high school or college? At that point, it seems just like more trouble and unneccisary spending to house those people and provide them millitary equipment. Plus, it should really be a choice. And what if they are caring for family members?
