MANDATORY MILITARY SERVICE

Mandatory military service should be required for all men and women in America

Abstract

This paper aims to focus on the point of joining military services for this purpose we discusses following point that military service should be required for all men and women in America. Military service, in its simplest sense, is service by an one-by-one or assembly in an army or other militia, if as a selected job or as a outcome of an involuntary preliminary (conscription). Some countries (e.g. Mexico) need a exact allowance of infantry service from each and every one of its people (except for exceptional situations such as personal or mental disorders or devout beliefs). A territory with a completely volunteer military does not commonly need mandatory infantry service from its people, except it is faced with a recruitment urgent position throughout a time of war. The United States has a powerful custom of civilian command of the military. While the President is the general head of the infantry, the United States Department of Defense (DoD), a federal boss department, is the primary body part by which infantry principle is conveyed out. The DOD is going by the Secretary of Defense, who is a citizen and a constituent of the Cabinet, who furthermore assists as the President's second-in-command of the military. To coordinate infantry activity with diplomacy, the President has an advisory National Security Council going by a National Security Advisor. Both the President and Secretary of Defense are suggested by a six-member Joint Chiefs of Staff, which encompasses the head of each of the service parts, directed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The focus lies on recruitment of the one hand, and on the difficulties to get out of the military once enlisted on the other hand. It will become obvious that a so-called "volunteer force" is not without human rights problems. This report is a preliminary report, compiled by War Resisters' International, to highlight some of the human rights problems associated with the Armed Forces of the United States of America. This report is far from complete, and we also refer to the report submitted by Conscience and Peace Tax International (CPTI), especially regarding registration for the draft according to the US Selective Service System. The procedure for recognising conscientious objectors of the present all-volunteer military is solely in the hands of the military, and therefore is not independent and impartial, as required by Commission on Human Rights resolution 1998/77; In practice, conscientious objectors who are denied the right to conscientious objection and who refuse orders to deploy are sentenced to prison; The denial of educational benefits and other forms ...
