I would argue that teaching people about how to be free and respect the freedom of others is more important than teaching them how to follow your every command that might go against their morals.
> Look at how the society is in countries with mandatory military service
Greece, Turkey, Iran, North Korea, multiple African countries. Does not sound that good. Why not look how society is in countries without military service instead?
- hermitdev 8y agoThere are multiple European contriea with compulsory service as well. I dont know off the cuff all of them, but I'm pretty sure Switzerland still requires service of all able bodied men for 2 years. Thing is, in the US, we have the 14th amendment to the Constitution, that among other things, guarantees equal protection under law based upon sex. This ruling was long overdue, even before the female combat restriction was removed. In a time of need for a draft, there are still plenty of non-combat roles to be filled.
- dingaling 8y agoDiscipline training is also about self-discipline which I would define as the motivation to deviate from the state of least-effort in order to pursue intangible or delayed benefits. Military service isn't the only way to instill that, but most ex-forces people I know have good self-discipline.
