Should there be a draft to serve in the military in your country?

A country’s decision to require their citizens to be conscripted (drafted) to serve in the military is generally made by the country’s government. Should the country’s government make such a decision? Many countries believe they should mandate military service because they believe they need a large force to protect their nation’s security from outside threats. Korea, Israel, Iran, China and Turkey are just a few of the many countries which have made the decision to have a draft.

The United States of America (USA) had a military draft that began in 1948 and ended in 1973 when the USA switched to an all-volunteer military.
