THAT
WE SHOULD HAVE COMPULSORY MILITARY SERVICE

AFFIRMATIVE:
(THAT WE SHOULD HAVE COMPULSORY MILITARY SERVICE)
* EMPLOYMENT: - This would allow
people to receive training in various areas which they may not be
given the chance to receive in their everyday life. Apart from
learning military training, employment skills would also be taught for
those straight out of high school, so employment will be easier to
obtain.

NEGATIVE:
(THAT WE SHOULD NOT HAVE COMPULSORY MILITARY
SERVICE)
* FREEDOM: - With forcing people into
the military, it takes away from a persons freedom of choice and the
ability to allow people to make their own decisions.
* SCHOOLING: - When would a proposal
like this be made. If compulsory military was introduced, at what age
would we force people to do it. (This question would be defined in the
affirmative teams definition). For most debates of this topic, people
who have just finished High School are the option, but what about
people who want to move onto University and TAFE, surely forcing them
to do something for another 2 years of their life is ludicrous.
