How can I argue against mandatory military service?

Call it "gender discrimination" unless it is universal, and not just for males. You link those two words, and people's knees start jerking. BadKarma!

I would think the most important point is that, if someone doesn't want to be there and is drafted, they pose more of a threat to the safety of him/herself and others. It seems like being in the military is just as much mental as it is physical, and they need people there for the right reasons. (watch MASH on TV and note Corporal Klinger! LOL!) This is NOT to say that drafted soldiers cannot make amazing soldiers, as we have seen in the past (Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, VietNam) ... however, I maintain that it is, on the whole, a lot better to be counting on someone that made the decision to be there!

You already have. At 18 you don't have a high school diploma. That makes you a tragic underachiever that is not fit to be in the military. I hope my cruel words motivated you to get an education. That is the only way to success. Best of luck.
