Giving two years of compulsory service is a good idea at a glance, and I can see why they would be encouraging it, but I can see how a lot of people would be opposed to it. They say that they are wanting to make it mandatory that everyone between the ages of 18 and 25 has to give two years of some sort of service, even outside the military, like being a student, being in the health care field, something of that sort. On the more military side, now being able to partake in the full combat experience is now available to both men and women. There is debate though that unnecessary, constant combat is becoming too much, thus we need to even out the service more among citizens. I think the idea is good, but people will probably fight it once and if it ever became mandatory.
