Many countries have compulsory military service for young men after they leave school. It would be a good idea for all countries to adopt this system for men, and possibly for women too.

Nowadays, in numerous

nations

, young males have to do mandatory

service

in the army, some people believe that

this

procedure is necessary for national security in all countries and it should include females as well. In my opinion, army compulsory

service

could be beneficial in democratic and developed

nations

for both genders,

however

, it has a very negative impact on individuals and societies in the dictatorships and poor parts of the globe. Admittedly, when young people have military experience, domestic peace would be maintained, and the country's borders would be protected.

Moreover

, the young men and women will learn order and appreciate the

soldiers

' efforts after spending some time in the war forces which enhanced their behaviour as civilians and rise their awareness of peace requirements.

For instance

, In Switzerland, both genders have to do mandatory military

service

for 6 months after high school, and annual 2 weeks of military training till the age of 52, and Swiss society is one of the most peaceful and safe in the world.

On the other hand

, in totalitarian regimes, forcing young people to serve in a tyrant's army will destroy the social structure and prevents the population from organising forces and acting against the dictator, because his

soldiers

are their family members which closes any opportunity to seek freedom and democracy.

Moreover

, the young ones in

such

nations

are forced to obey the ruler as slaves ,not as warriors, and they have to follow any orders that come from above without discussion, so if the officers request them to shoot students' demonstrations they will shoot without hesitating.

Furthermore

, the authorities make the young

soldiers

work on private projects that benefit the rulers' own fortunes ,not the public sector, which crushes the young' souls and makes them abandon the national ideas.

For example

,

the

in the

show examples

Syrian situation, when

soldiers

were forced to build private mansions during their compulsory military

service

. In conclusion, mandatory military

service

for men and women is a very beneficial procedure in democratic

nations

,

however

, it will destroy national security and freedom, and crush the individuals' personalities if it is performed in dictatorships.
