In some countries, joining the military is mandatory, in other countries, optional. For example, in Israel and Singapore both men and women are required to perform two years compulsory military service right after high school. Does your country require military service? If so, how do you feel about this? If not, under what conditions would you ever join the military to defend your country?

England is my home country, and you are not requried to join the military. If my family was under threat from danger then I would join the army to protect my family, or if my country was under threat from war then to save lives I would join the military.
