I could not disagree more. While I believe governments should have some degree of "control" over its citizens, mandatory service is not something I can get behind, AT ALL. The government telling people that they'll have to undergo mandatory service if they don't have a full-time job, and that is a very broad definition... would you consider someone who does app deliveries, or Uber, or self-employed people trying to get their businesses off the ground to have full time jobs? What jobs are acceptable under that definition? Is it income related?
And how do you decide the rules for this? Does it apply to immigrants? Does it have power to reach within the Reservations? (and if it does, should it?) Why two years?
And what kind of penalty are we talking about in case of someone evading from it? Withholding civil rights (voting, passports, eligibility for public office or employment) like some countries do? (Israel, Brazil and Finland, for example)? Is it right to condition someone's full exercise of their rights to mandatory service of any kind?
I understand the intention behind it, and I believe people proposing this mean well, but this is something I can never get behind, at all. It gives governments too much power over aspects of people's lives where it should never interfere at all.
