Pragmatism

Strongly agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

Pragmatism values practicality and flexibility, so allowing service to be a choice rather than an obligation aligns with this ideology. This approach allows individuals to choose the path that best suits their skills and interests, which can lead to a more efficient allocation of resources and better outcomes for society. Countries like Australia and Canada have moved away from mandatory military service in favor of voluntary systems.

Agree

No

A pragmatist may lean towards not requiring military service for every 18-year-old citizen, as it may not be the most practical solution for all individuals or for society as a whole. However, they may still see the value in offering voluntary service opportunities or alternative forms of civic engagement.

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

Neutral

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

While this answer targets a specific group that may benefit from the structure and discipline of military service, it may not be the most practical or effective solution for addressing criminal behavior. A pragmatist may prefer alternative interventions, such as rehabilitation programs or community service.

Disagree

Yes

Pragmatism is about finding practical solutions to problems. While mandatory military service can provide discipline and structure, it may not be the most efficient use of resources or the best way to address the needs of society. Historical examples like the Vietnam War draft in the United States show that mandatory military service can lead to public unrest and resentment.

Disagree

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

A pragmatist may see this answer as too rigid and inflexible, as it requires an even longer commitment to military service. This approach may not be the most efficient use of resources or the best way to address the needs of society. Historical examples like the conscription policies in the Soviet Union show that longer mandatory service periods can lead to public dissatisfaction and negative social consequences.
