Compulsory Service

In my opinion I do not believe that any one at any age should have to commit to any type of compulsory service. I believe that as a human we all have our rights and should not be forced to commit to something that we do not want to do. If it was mandatory for a person to serve in the military or the Peace Corps then it would violate our Fifth Amendment right whish says: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” It would conflict with a persons beliefs and or their religion. In some religions they do not feel that they need to be involved in such things as wars and national conflicts. They feel they should be neutral in government issues such as the military or the Peace Corps. I do not feel that anyone for any reason should be forced to do anything they don’t want to do. I feel compulsory service for eighteen year olds would not benefit anyone so it should not be made mandatory. I believe it’s a way for the government to get free service out of people with no benefit in return. If they lose a limb or something in the war whats the government going to do for them. They barely do anthing for them now. In my opinion compulsory service is just another way for the government to get something out of the people who do it just because they want to. If someone wants to volunteer for it then they have every right to but don’t try and force it on the people that don’t want to.
