Should every 18 year old citizen be required to provide at least one year of military service?

National Service, not just military, but something like a Peace Corps should be an option for those aged 18.

Yes, but with equal focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development. Also ensure that if completed, people have a choice to join the reserves

Those who are starting to build a criminal record and who do not pursue education/employment should be incentivised.

No l, but only if there is a near risk that will require a skilled population to fight for the country.

No, but encourage and recommend them to by setting up a scheme that allows for cheaper tuition fees and housing options in exchange for military service

Only if such facilities are monitored, regulated and sanitary.

No, but anyone receiving employment benefits for a prolonged period of time without evidence of job seeking should be sent to the army

Yes, but not specifically military. There should be multiple areas where people can provide services, such as community service, international aid etc
