Small Government

Very strongly agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

This answer aligns most closely with small government ideology, as it emphasizes individual choice and limited government intervention. By making military service a choice rather than an obligation, it respects individual freedom and autonomy. This is consistent with the views of small government proponents, who generally oppose mandatory government programs.

Strongly agree

No

Small government proponents generally support voluntary military service, as it aligns with their belief in individual choice and limited government intervention. For example, the United States has maintained an all-volunteer military force since the end of the draft in 1973, which has been supported by small government advocates.

Disagree

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

Although this answer attempts to balance mandatory service with a focus on education and skill development, it still involves government intervention and mandatory participation. Small government proponents would likely prefer a voluntary system that allows individuals to choose whether to participate in military service or other educational and skill development programs.

Disagree

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

While this answer may seem more palatable to small government proponents than universal mandatory service, it still involves government intervention in citizens' lives and limits individual choice. Small government ideology would likely prefer a completely voluntary system, rather than one with specific requirements for certain individuals.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Small government ideology emphasizes limited government intervention in citizens' lives. Mandatory military service would be seen as an overreach of government power and an infringement on individual freedom. Historical examples include the opposition to the draft during the Vietnam War by small government advocates.

Strongly disagree

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

This answer targets a specific group of individuals and requires them to participate in mandatory military service, which goes against the small government ideology of limited government intervention and individual choice. Additionally, it may be seen as unfairly punitive and discriminatory against those with criminal records.

Very 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 required service time, which is in direct opposition to small government ideology. This would be seen as an even greater infringement on individual freedom and autonomy, and an overreach of government power.
