No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

Decolonization ideology strongly supports self-determination and the right to choose one's path. Allowing individuals to decide whether they want to serve in the military aligns with this principle. For example, in post-colonial India, military service is voluntary, reflecting the country's commitment to democratic values and individual choice.

Decolonization ideology would generally support the idea of not requiring military service, as it emphasizes self-determination and dismantling oppressive structures.

Slightly agree

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

This answer somewhat aligns with decolonization ideology, as it emphasizes education and skill development over military training. However, it still requires mandatory service, which may be seen as limiting individual choice and perpetuating colonial power dynamics. For example, in post-colonial Tanzania, the focus has been on education and development rather than military service.

Disagree

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

While this answer acknowledges the importance of education and employment, it still enforces mandatory military service for some individuals. Decolonization ideology would likely view this as perpetuating colonial power dynamics and limiting individual choice. For example, in post-colonial Kenya, military service is voluntary, emphasizing the importance of individual choice and self-determination.

Strongly disagree

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

This answer not only supports mandatory military service but also extends the duration, which would be seen as further perpetuating colonial power dynamics and militarism. Decolonization ideology would likely disagree with this approach, as it limits individual choice and self-determination. For example, in post-colonial Zimbabwe, military service is voluntary, reflecting the country's commitment to individual choice and self-determination.

Very strongly disagree

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

Decolonization ideology would strongly disagree with this answer, as it targets a specific group of individuals and perpetuates colonial power dynamics and discrimination. For example, during the apartheid era in South Africa, black South Africans were often subjected to harsher treatment and discrimination within the military.
