Oh yeah I momentarily forgot about that. But why do I think this? I think
why not. Just think of the possibilities. Our welfare system wouldn't be
abused such as it is, it would give a greater sense of what our country
provides as in freedom and security (how does that saying go - Freedom has a
sweet flavor the protected will never know. or something to that effect.
There are many reasons. I am not saying that it would solve everything.
Nothing can do that. I am just saying that it would make things better. But
as I said before these are just my opinions and others can think as they
will.

We basically do have mandatory service, it's just on a "as needed"
bases...it's called a draft. Remember during the Vietnam War all of the
people who had to go fight for there country whether they wanted to or not?
Every male needs to send in a draft card at age 18. If the government wants
equal rights for everyone, why don't women have to register for the draft?
Why would you want a similar mandatory service like Switzerland?

I believe that is what the U.S. should have.....Mandatory service. But that
is just my opinion and I probably shouldn't have even mentioned it.

alex your stats have big holes. In Switzerland every man between the ages
of 17 and 47 belongs to there equivalent of the National Guard(this is
mandatory) and is issued a semi-auto rifle and is only used for official
use. So your comparison of crime stats is very flawed.
