18-25 would be more appropriate, only for repeat offenders and it should be a shorter period of time e.g. six-eight weeks

 @9CPQT8Yanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but include other emergency and public services for those not wishing the military.

There should be more encouragement and opportunity for skills development/education and work experience for all 18yr olds with more support and resources provided to enable this. Taking part should be compulsory but the right to choose what.

 @9MHCS4B answered…9mos9MO

offer service, or military or social, caring at a good rate of remuneration to encourage civil and civic pride and commitment

I think rather than forcing people to join the army, they should incentivise it more because forcing someone to do something they don’t wanna do can be way more of a liability they they are better off encouraging people and have legit reasons recruiting is important and the recruiting numbers are unfortunately down however forcing 18-year-olds do one year is not a way to go and can be more of a problem specially for security

No but young offenders, homeless individuals and the unemployed should be encouraged, make the army cool again
