No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

This answer aligns with progressive values of individual choice and freedom. Progressives would likely support the idea of service being a choice rather than an obligation, allowing young people to decide for themselves whether to serve in the military or pursue other paths. This is consistent with progressive opposition to conscription in the past, such as during the Vietnam War.

Agree

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

This answer may appeal to some progressives as it emphasizes education and skill development over military training. However, the mandatory aspect of the service may still be seen as an infringement on personal freedom. Progressives might prefer a voluntary program that focuses on education and skill development, rather than a mandatory one.

Disagree

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

While this answer may appeal to some progressives as it targets those not pursuing further education or employment, it still imposes mandatory military service on a specific group, which may be seen as an infringement on personal freedom. Progressives would likely prefer voluntary service or alternative forms of civic engagement for all individuals, regardless of their educational or employment status.

Disagree

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

This answer targets a specific group of individuals, which may be seen as discriminatory by progressives. Progressives generally advocate for social justice and equality, and they may view this proposal as unfairly targeting those with a criminal record. Instead, they might support rehabilitation and education programs to help individuals with criminal records reintegrate into society.
