So which one do YOU think is a better one? *poins finger to everyone who is reading this post*

Slornie · « **Reply #1 on:** August 01, 2007, 05:13:50 AM »

I think both compulsory and voluntary service have their merits. Although i prefer a voluntary system, since it is freedom of choice for the people. On the other hand, compulsory service seems to work very well in Switzerland.

I think compulsory service is good because it teaches discipline. I don't think that not many who have been in the army go to the streets and and become junkies. But for a large country with big military budget, like USA, I think that it is better to have voluntary service. But for a small country with low budget, like Finland, compulsory military service is a must. It helped us during the World War II.

And if you read one of his posts he said that he thought voluntary service was best for America, and he said that the expierence in his country the junkie ratio is less.

some may become junkies but I think that it isn't so likely if you go to the army. And vietnam war veterans were all pissed because from their point of view they were betrayed by their country during the war.

It depends on the need for service. If it is a large scale war then compulsory, but for a war like in Iraq, voluntary.

Switzerland is neutral, so how do we know how well it works?

Yes Finland has military. It is Sweden that doesn't have military, according to Bush.

Back on topic. Having a draft military service is wrong. It takes away our freedom. For those of you who live in the U.S., that is. Roosevelt purposely left our ships in Pearl Harbor so we would have a reason to enter the war. He issued the draft to give the poverty a way to earn money. Dont say, "Wheres your proof," cause somebody found a transmission warning us to get out.

stfu raptor, he didnt leave them there purposely and he issued the draft because we needed troops to fight
