Should military service be mandatory?

In my country military service is something like a rite of passage into manhood, it's a big event for the family. Now they are pushing for removal of military service in order to bring in pussified generations.

Should military service be mandatory?

Military service as in rigorous military training in your own contry.

As far as I know only Israel does that out of the countries that have conscription. Mostly it's armies that don't have conscription that go around murdering people in foreign lands for corporate interests and corrupt politicians.

Military OR national service should be mandatory.

The US found it does better with a volunteer military, so when they go to war, it's mostly people who want to fight.

Smaller countries may feel differently.

>>
>>12826132 (OP)
It depends.

On countries like South Korea and Israel it's obvious it should, since they live with the threat of war every single day.

But on countries with no threat of war whatsoever there's no point in mandatory military service. Which doesn't mean that no one should join the army. I believe an army is the most effective way to inspire patriotism on the people, even on peace countries.

I come from a country that hate its military because some faggots that were involved in bullshit that happened 50+ years ago are more than 20 years in the power and are doing their best to make the people hate the army and any kind of militaristic authority, even cops.

This kind of shit results in less and less patriotism here and most people don't even think about military service or any kind of "patriotic" job
>>
Conscript armies are always shit tier compared to professional ones and tend to surrender much more often so fuck that.

Why the military? Why not some sort of civil service that involves rigorous physical and mental training combined with civic duties such as cleaning/policing etc
>>
I'd have loved it. The only thing keeping me out of the military was the 4 year commitment. seemed like forever at that age. one or two years I'd have jumped at. Ofcourse being stuck 24/7 with just anybody who doesn't want to be there would suck the bag. Conscription that's easily opted out of would be great.
>>
Mandatory national service.

Civil option for lol hippies - go work in hospitals and shit.

No deployment to combat zones for national service kids, they can however elect to be in an actual regular unit if they wish.

Not entirely accurate. Germany had a conscript army for both world wars and damn near beat the world.

Conscription does, by its very nature, sweep in the shitbaskets along with the quality men, however. You're right about that.

Selective service is still in effect in America and can be enacted at any time

The Selective Service System is authorized by the Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution which says Congress "shall have Power To ... raise and support Armies [and] To provide and maintain a Navy;" The Selective Service Act was the law which established the Selective Service System under these provisions.

On the one hand I feel as though everyone should have to do a mandatory term of military/national service.

On the other, I would not have wanted to serve with unwilling conscripts. Perhaps having some manner of separating volunteers and those who are forced into it would work.

Mandatory Civil Service. That would be much more useful.

Depends on the size of your country. If you made military service in the US mandatory. Our already bloated defense budget would fucking skyrocket 10 fold. Plus nevermind veteran benefit costs. 5 years of service = lifetime of fucking welfare.

Only badly trained conscript armies. Pre world war 2 and even post world war two conscription was mandatory in some countries for up to 3 years (including germany pre WW 2). Especially for smaller countries that could not maintain a large standing army.

And most wars were fought with conscript armies, romans had conscript armies and the fact they abolished them and rather hired germanic barbarian tribes was one of the reasons for the downfall of rome.
>>
In my country, Denmark, there's mandatory service for 8 months. Since we don't have the right to carry arms, it's essential for our democracy that a large group of the people are able to at least use guns efficiently.
Also it would be useful when the happening comes.

Germany had a rather nice system, after high school every able bodied male had to do either military service (Basic training and some months of service in a unit fitting to their skills) or alternate civil service (mainly healthcare and tending to old/disabled people).

Military Is trained to be aggressive and continuously push forward toward the enemy, never allowing them to establish such a position.

Because while wars are corrupt by their very existence, a little military training might shape up the next generation down the line.

It doesn't mean we send them to war, but it also, through discipline, we may adapt a mentality to not have a war to fight in the first place.

But this is me placing far, far too much faith in humanity of course.

Finnfag here.

Mandatory military service is pretty much a must for us, as a professional army would be much smaller in size, even though more efficient.

Defending an entire border requires a lot of people behind guns, not just a few extremely well trained hands holding those guns.

Besides, it would not be cost efficient for our country.

We need a big reserve army, in case the some dipshit goes poking the sleeping bear and we have to rape their ass Winter War style again.

Of course people always say that Finland has no hope to match Russia, but its not about winning, its about making it harder for them.

A stupid analogy what I like to use is a hedgehog. they have spikes to deter predators, even though a predator could easily tear through them. Its just not nice getting stung, so they leave hedgehogs alone.


Besides, I really liked going to the army. I was for a full year and served as a corporal and a squad leader.

Best year of my life.

This was proposed in Norway not long ago, and was shot down. For good reason.
The military can be strict, it's half the point of the military, you have no choice but to conform to the rules of the military to a certain degree.
The same could not be expected in conscripted healthcare where you wouldn't be toughened.
First of all, it'd be mostly women, and with today's feminism that would ensure the whole system would be a pile of cuddly feely shit.
What's more though, is that the profession in itself doesn't exactly scream "Strict regiment and 200 pushups for insubordination!", you can't expect such a thing in a system that is based on caring and nurturing.
You could of course have "health care training grounds" where half the training was physically exchaustive like in the military, in fact this would probably bring forth a new social paradigm where girls are introduced to a more physical world instead of expecting to be carried through life.
But finally, the lack of expertize present in the conscripts would doom the whole thing in itself, as it is "volunteers" are more bother than help for health workers because they don't know anything, are lazy, don't want to handle mentally challenged people, anything gross, or what have you.

It's just not doable, but damnit I would have loved half a year's mandatory service where you were forced into a physically and mentally challenging world.

Men and women are not equal in their abilities by average and at large. It's much easier to grab the more suitable half of population by making service default for males. Even a fat hikky can be made pretty strong because testosterone runs through his veins, most women can't compete with that. Obviously if /pol/ or the hommafags from /politiikka/ had their way then we'd have some kind of camp for women as well which teaches them teamwork, makes them fitter, provides useful skills for survival and maintenance of stuff during a potential crisis. Hell, I'd replace confirmation school/that prometheus place and other jesus/non-jesus-faggery with something like boy and girl scouts or some youth organisation. That would cull down the amount of entitled retards drastically and promote some team spirit.

One recurring theme in this thread seems to be that mandatory service is not necessarily combat or even front line. Examples such as electricians were given. Women could just as easily fill these roles. If women want equal rights they netter be willing to take equal responsibilities as well. Whens the last time you heard a feminist demanding equal representation for women in the Selective Service? Equality has to mean equality, not just the good bits.

Military values:
>die for israel/international bankers
>might makes right
>don't question authority
>shoot unarmed civilians
>obey orders, pay no attention to the law
>mistrust foreigners, mindless patriotism

High society/traditional American values:
>art, culture and education
>think critically, question everything
>be a creative and innovative individual
>debate and investigate
>decide your own path through life
>respect others and the law, but develop your own morals
>travel and mingle with people of other cultures

I guess it depends on the country. I can it being helpful in a country like South Korea. Which is bassically on the brink of war every year. But a western European country? They don't even have large armies. There would be no need. Same for Murrica. There are already loads of men who volunteer. There's no shortage.

If your country is a member of NATO you're fighting for the Rothschilds and the International Banking Cartels. This is a fact.
>>
>>12828521
The problem is, if a full-on war did happen i don't think people would rush to join up like they used to. Conscription would be the only way we'd be able to survive in that situation.

Example; Australia, twice as many soldiers died in WW1 than we currently have troops.

I see them around me everyday, indeed I would say they are a majority. Just because you choose only to focus on the worst our society has to offer doesn't mean good, free people have ceased to exist. It's only a testament to your narrow-mindedness and ignorance.

Your whole world view is like one of those shitty image macros that cherry picks images from 'Fascism' and 'Democracy' or 'Islam' and the 'West'.
>>
>>12828521
Conscription is not so much about how men can help serve their country at present but how characters of those men are changed for the greater good of themselves (striving for something more than primitive desires as in current liberal generation) and their nation.

I don't believe in equality, people aren't equal. I think people's mental and physical capabilities are defined by biology by average, even if there's exceptions, but we can make exceptions for them. I don't know how to place men and women in ranks but they're different.

So my advocation for women to have some kind of useful training is based on usefulness (skills, teamwork, character building) not equality, humanistic justice or some useless bullshit like that.
>>
>>12828697

So what you are trying to say that 19-24 year old men and women (and I use these terms lightly) would rather read a book or join a club where youth helps rebuild playgrounds then listen to nigger music and get fuckin wasted on a weekend?

You are so disconnected from reality I'm starting to believe you live on Mars.

There is civil service for drafted men in Norway aswell, but those positions are paper pushing parts of the military and are being phased out as only about half of each generation is drafted and there is no longer a need for "dumping grounds".

It depends on the person. This isn't very hard to understand. If you think people in college that are in challenging majors drink and party 24/7 then you don't know what you're talking about.
>>
>>12828796
Even though women and men are physically and mentally different, they should still have the same basic rights and responsibilities.

The tax wouldn't even need to be too high.

Murricans only hate conscription because they are constantly fighting foreign wars of aggression. The reason they even went with full professional army was because they just couldn't continue their wars with a conscript army as it became unpopular as fuck with Vietnam.

So instead of changing their foreign policy murricans just adopted professional army which shut up the dissenters and continued shitting up the world.
>>
>>12828969
Yes that would be silly if I said that but I didn't. Forcing people in the military when there's no point just makes a shitty army(Vietnam) and gets in the way of people's plans.

no. in the US the continued maintenance of the federal US military in peacetime is unconstitutional and for a good reason.

>>12828832
I know what you mean with equality. What I mean is that I'd base judgement on things like sex by average, but still let individuals get exceptions if they prove their capability even if they're not from the targeted group. That goes against equality and I don't care because I don't care about equality to the absolute, even if I think steep class differences created by a broken economy do suck ass.

>>12828880
Maybe some basic rights and responsibilities. If you had an army for men and some special training camp for women, that wouldn't be same but it'd be similar, and good enough for me. You could switch from one to the other maybe. Kind of like textile and woodworks in school, girls go the first and boys to the latter mostly, it's a choice but you have to pick either.
>>
>>12829189
Fair enough, so long as it stops the current trend of half the population being expected to serve for everyone. Also, publicly outing the males who would willingly pick the (presumably less demanding) female camp can only be a good thing.

The fact that men are fallible and capable of making bad choices does not legitimaze coercing them to make choices that are better (according to your own conviction of what a good choice is. You may of course be wrong). As for me personally, I rarely touch chips or candy at all, and only occasionally drink alcohol or do (mild) drugs. When you are given the possibility to make bad choices you learn self-dicipline and to restrain yourself. How are you supposed to learn that at all if someone is always going to be there and tell you what you can eat and do? You would be a child forever
>>
>>12829189
What the world needs is an objective scale for the worth of humans. Sure, we might be equal, and the only reason I say this is because there is no proof for either side. Either way, there is plenty of proof to suggest that we're much more dynamic than the term equal implies.

No culture, no religion, no social anything besides the aspects that we are born with. Both sides should encourage this because it is proof of their claim, regardless of which side of the fence they are on, from the communist to the extreme racist.

Think of it like IQ but much more telling.
>>
>>12826132 (OP)
military service stopped being mandatory just about when I was to get accepted (~2005)
tbh, to this day I do wonder weather or not this was a good choice. Looking at the generations that followed, they are completely pussified and autistic....
however, there is this other side of the coin. In the 1.5 years i DID NOT spend in the army, i did quite a few things that boosted my career later on.
so, i guess, as everything else, there is good and bad in this
>>
Military service is mandatory for 1 year in my country. Let me tell you, it's a huge fucking waste of money and time. The only thing I learned is that people are much more stupid than I thought.
As for getting fit and trained, that doesn't happen either. No one is interested enough to care, because otherwise they would have joined the army professionaly, and the professionals can't be assed to teach you when they have pros to train. Also they can't put too much pressure on you to get fit or do dangerous activity, because if anything happens to you, your superiors will be held responsible.
Oh yeah, I fired a rifle 5 times too.

Well, I don't know if fear of humiliation should be used to push males to choose the army. Those who choose the women-oriented alternative would probably be just discouraged and feel more antipathy toward the state and people. Embracing masculinity and respect for soldiers would be a better thing, especially if it's fuelled by an earlier responsibility/bravery/survival/militarism-promoting tour-of-fun-and-games in a scout camp that substitutes the confirmation school+alternatives as a rite of passage.

It's not my country that is shitty, that's what happens when you force people to serve in the military. If you want people to care and try hard to be good soldiers, then it must be their choice to join.

>>12829933
Hey, not everything about manhood is subjective. Some things just can't be defined by the state... well... least if you ask most people instead of the occasional bigendered pansexual transsexual who is a radical feminist and can redefine a penis into a clitoris at the power of hir will.
