Yes to mandatory service, no to one year of military service.
1) 4 years military or civic service
2) Civic service should focus on helping Americas impoverished people via specialized job training (carpentry, etc.)
3) Similar college programs for both (part time college while serving, GI Bill style coverage of full service is completed)
4) Option to drop early at 2 years, no GI style benefit

I think at least four and evey one that is eligible should have to do it and anybody that runs for any offices should have to do it expecially the president

SPC (Join to see) - Yes - mandatory for people who serve in elected or appointed office. Might raise the standards for those folks in political office which we truly need for the benefit of everyone!

Not necessarily military service but public service of some kind. Especially if you got government assistance to attend college. Just my two pennies.

As a young man I used to feel it would be beneficial to have mandatory service with options. As a senior citizen I have come to see it is not in our long term best interest to require mandatory service. The complexities of assurances of such power are too great to legislate to assure the outcomes we desire of freedom, liberty and general prosperity.
Mandatory service rewards personality types that tend to place Science over the love of God (the Great Cosmic Eternal Wisdom). Countries that place Science above the love of God quickly devolve into tyranny.
Mandatory tends to reward power-authority traits of sociopaths, control, lying, deception, abuse, blackmail, self interest, corruption and murder. As a result society devolves long term to the world we see today.
