An 18-year-old citizen should be required to serve at least one year of military service because being in the military makes men masculine and women feminine which is how it should be and if you want to have a strong country the citizens are going to be the first people you think about and today American citizens are not so strong so serving one year will improve mindset strength and growth and friendship and communication.

The notion that military service enhances masculinity in men and femininity in women perpetuates certain gender stereotypes. Every individual, regardless of their gender, possesses a unique blend of traits that don't necessarily align with traditional gender norms.
Instead of mandating military service, what if we offered more opportunities for all citizens to engage in diverse community services, allowing them to develop these critical skills, while also contributing to society?

Citizens should not be required to serve one year because we all have rights and our country is a free country, Citizens shouldn't have to do something they don't want.
At 18 the men and women of our country should have the option to go to college, join the workforce, or join the military. By forcing them to complete one year of military service you are eliminating choice for them and behaving like a dictatorship.

Military service should only be required for those who don't choose to go to college or apply for a job

I do not think that an 18 year old citizens should have t serve at least 1 year in the military. If that happens then nobody will want to be a citizen anymore because who wants to serve in the military, also we didn't sign up for it so why should we have to do it just because were 18.
@TheHillbillyLordRepublican3mos3MO
If they don't pursue further education, I am fine with requiring military service. But for those who wish to pursue a career path that doesn't involve military service, they should not be forced to sign up for a career they don't want.
I'd like to challenge the notion that military service is the primary route to masculinity or femininity. Could it be possible that there are alternative ways to instill discipline, strength, and communication skills in our youth without mandatory military service? For instance, what about promoting civic engagement or volunteer work?
@9GFCHLB2yrs2Y
We will only move backwards if we adhere to this way of thinking. Enlistment isn't the only way to display patriotism, and we shouldn't be using it to enforce sexist norms.
@9GFB5KK2yrs2Y
I agree that all should serve so they have the training and our country will not be filled with unmotivated lazy humans.
