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…1yr1Y

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…7mos7MO

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

Yes, however, military service should be the only national service that should be paid. Military shouldn't be compulsory but citizens should have the option to help in more community based projects and cleanups

 @9ZGMHNYanswered…1mo1MO

No, because our armed forces could support the huge amount of people who would join, training then takes months which is waste of resources for a years contract and finally soldiers who lack a want to serve their country won't be good at it.
