Defending the country is one of the most important duties of each citizen in all countries around the world. For some people, defending the country has another meaning. Most people believe that all people must be ready to protect their countries if war happens. As a result, some countries have made the military service compulsory. Every day a lot of people go to military service not because they love their countries, but because they are forced to go. There are two important reasons why I personally disagree with military service.
Firstly, military service has a bad influence on young people. It increases the hatred in people’s hearts and makes them very insensitive. Also, during the military service, these people learn how to hate others and fight and kill in order to survive. Sometimes, they even begin to hate their own country; because in some countries people are forced to attend the military service and in some cases they run away before their term. The reason is, sometimes they have to be far from their families for a long time and they cannot tolerate this situation. Furthermore, young people go to the military in their teenage. In addition, when they are in the company of their peers, they get a lot of bad effects and sometimes they cannot distinguish what is right and what is wrong. For instance, most teenagers start smoking in the period of military service, because all the time they are with their peers and they get distracted.
Secondly, in Iran the way military service is administered by the government is not fair to everyone. To illustrate, some people who are well-to do can buy the years of military service and most of them help their children to avoid draft by paying the cost of is. Also, some people can get dismissed because of very basic and simple problems like having a sweaty palm or poor eye sight. On the other hand, some people have no chance to get dismissed even if they have very bad considerable circumstances, like being the only person in the family who can work and help the family.
The facts that mentioned before are just some of the bad effects of attending military service. Certainly there are other ways to protect a country rather than homicide and teaching it to people. People can defend their countries by finding a good way to have relationship with other people and tell them that they are looking for peace in the world and fight and war is the worst way.
