Do you believe every young American should serve at least 1 term in the military?

I've heard a lot of people I work with talking about that. They all think that every young person in America should serve at least 4 years in the military. Thoughts?
THey weren't saying that the government should force anyone to do it. They were saying that we should join for 1 term at least.
 
If you look at the crime rate before and after the end of the draft, I believe you'll agree with me that the draft was the only social welfare program this country ever had in place that worked. 4 years? I'm not so sure that 4 years are necessary. Likely a 2 year hitch is enough.
 
No. The military isn't for everyone. I don't want to serve with someone who doesn't want to be there. It would bring the morale down.
 
Personally, i'm not against it, i'd do it, but that's because of who i am. But it would violate MANY of our rights, and be against many laws. Therefore i think bad idea. Besides, if you don't want to be there, your a danger to everyone around you, and there would be a lot of people against being where they were.
 
No.
That is the draft and is illegal. It would be the most expensive idea ever and taxes would be raised 50% to pay for it.
Not an exaggeration, taxes already need to be raised about 40% to pay for our deficit.
