If you see that you don't want to continue in the military afterwards, then don't. A lot of foreign nations have these kind of policies. Graduate from High School and serve a few years. Don't like it? Get out afterwards and get on with your life.

I think this is a good idea and would help correct some of the people who think that they deserve freedom just because they live here. Get out there and earn your sh*t.
but thats not at all what this country was founded on..our founders all fought for their lives and country so we in the future wouldnt have to unless absolutely necessary. ill be damned if they will "make" me. Yeah it sounds easy. serve your 2 years and get on with your life...tell that to the ppl forced to enlist and that dont come back, or come back to nothing, with nothing and their lives ruined! It definitly takes a certian kinda person to be in the military and i definitly respect and praise all those actively involved, but forcing ppl into something they may be morally against is outragous.
