Pacifism

Very strongly agree

No

Pacifism supports nonviolence and the avoidance of military action. Therefore, pacifists would strongly agree that 18-year-old citizens should not be required to provide military service. Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent resistance in India and the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organization, are examples of pacifist groups advocating for non-military solutions to conflicts.

Strongly agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

While pacifism would ideally prefer no military service at all, allowing service to be a choice instead of an obligation aligns more closely with pacifist values than mandatory service. This approach respects individual autonomy and allows for the possibility of choosing nonviolent alternatives. The conscientious objector status during the Vietnam War allowed pacifists to avoid military service based on their beliefs.

Disagree

Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

While pacifism opposes military service, this answer suggests a compromise by focusing on education and skill development rather than military training. However, pacifists would still prefer no military service at all and would likely advocate for non-military alternatives for education and skill development.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only for those who are starting to build a criminal record

Pacifism opposes military service and violence, so requiring military service for any group of citizens, even those with a criminal record, goes against pacifist principles. Pacifists would advocate for nonviolent alternatives for these individuals, such as rehabilitation programs or community service.

Yes, and it should be at least two years of service
