Mandatory Service

Have you ever given thought to a national conscription? I always wondered if our nation would benefit from mandatory military service. This practice is done in many countries around the world and the results are astonishing. There is a sense of national pride, you have civilians who are able to defend their country even after retirement, gun crimes are significantly lower not to mention discipline and health are embedded into the mindset of the population.

I think people hear military and automatically think war but the truth is only a small part of the armed forces is dedicated to combat arms, the majority of the jobs and services are focused around support.

Just food for thought.
