Abstract
Abstract : Should the United States government implement a policy for mandatory national service in the Armed Forces? The United States has a rich history of its citizens, noncitizens and other US nationals serving in its Armed Forces within a voluntary status and under conscription. Mandatory national service in the military is not a new concept; it has been a means utilized to fill and resource formations well before the establishment of the government of the United States. Although not having any formal requirement to muster, to this day, in many of the states constitutions, all able-bodied men are identified as being members of the militia. This is not to be confused with the states National Guard. Based on available resources and external threats, mandatory service has been required and suspended from time to time. This paper discusses the introduction of a national service program designed to promote nationalism, support diversity, and provide for the common defense all while providing an opportunity for millions of disengaged young people the chance to be more productive members of society.
