Do you believe 18 year-olds should serve 2 years of compulsory service, such as the military or the Peace Corps?
I do not believe that believe 18 year-olds should serve 2 years of compulsory service, such as the military or the Peace Corps because everyone has their own life to live and the should not serve if they did not volunteer. I strongly disagree with the compulsary service because this will make you do something even if you do not want to do it, more like forcing someone to do something that they do not want to do. I would like ot compare this to slavery because the slaves were doing things they did not like but it was required to do by the government. But the comparison is not as severe because that dealt with human and social values that cannot be taken away from a person even if they die. Volunteer is when somebody who works without being paid; people are not going to want to work for something and not get paid, unless they are great people that have nothing else to do or that really care about others. People like this usually already have everything in their lifes, like money and everything that it brings with it. The military is something that you chose to do not something that is compulsory. Being enrolled in the military is like a 2nd option or plan b after high school, because some people already have their lifes set on something else, like college, building a family and/or becoming something more than just a high school graduate, college graduate, Peace Corp volunteer or a military service person.
