No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

Distributism values individual choice and localism, so allowing citizens to choose whether to serve in the military aligns with these principles. This approach respects individual freedom while still providing an opportunity for those who wish to serve their country.

Slightly disagree

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

Disagree

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

Mandatory two-year military service may be seen as too restrictive and not in line with Distributism's focus on localism and individual freedom. Distributists may prefer a more voluntary approach to service that allows citizens to choose how they contribute to their communities and country.
