Atissa Gerami: Military

Military service is mandatory in certain countries. The proponents state that it offers many benefits to young people; however, there are those who argue otherwise. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the mandatory military service? What is your personal position on this issue?
Military service has an important role in some countries. Although the proponent states that it has many benefits to young people many of people don’t accept this, so Mandatory Service has advantages and disadvantages.

Military Services have some advantages. At first, military service teaches young people to be patriotic; moreover they learn how to love their countries and respect the national rules. In addition, they learn how to make great decisions, and be more responsible; therefore, they are sharper and they learn how to respect rules and the others; for example, sometimes in whole life people have to make great decisions that can be very important. Moreover, they teach them to be independent; as a matter of fact, by these abilities they can support their families in the feather.

However, there are some disadvantages of the mandatory military service; sometimes, they have to participate in war, and this is very hard and difficult both mentally and physically; as a matter of fact, being in war is horrible especially for young; in addition, their families are worried about their children which can affect on whole family. War can affect their personalities, so they can not behave in a right way. Moreover, the government would be charged. It is a big financial burden on society. For example, we can see the effects of the war between United State of America and Vietnam.

Consequently, in my opinion mandatory and obligation is not accepted and these services must be chosen by people, forcing and pushing them for every reason can make them angry, and they do not behave as well as they do .
