Two years of service to the country should be required, but it does not have to be in the military. Working with inner city youth, updating infrastructure, etc. should be able to count.

I think there should be a system of national service for all which could be performed in many different ways. Perhaps a ranking system where military service earned the highest points towards fulfillment, but a variety of community services, on a part time basis could earn enough points over a longer time period. We should all be required to give something back. We all have different talents. I think a draft should be ok in the most serious of times, but the women need to register, too. Community service could begin in high school. Would be good to get the kids off of the technology and over themselves.

Yes, at least 2 years of military or community service or be involved in local government in some way

Yes, within reason. Some are physically or mentally unable, and should not be enlisted. Most are capable, and military service would provide for national defense. It could also create a more cohesive patriotic society.

 @8JCJLWV from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

Inclined towards yes, but this would be a huge change -- instead alternatively should be cosidred

Only if the U.S. military was struggling to get soldiers and military workers should they be allowed to force U.S citizens to provide one year of military service
