i feel that all including women should serve NS.
although some might argue that it has been scientifically proven that women are physically weaker than men, it is not entirely true that women are mentally weaker than men. at the same time, some may also argue that having females in the army is a distraction to men.
i beg to differ. although at times it might be a distraction, men can learn from the neatness habits and discipline of women.
also, women can be trained to assist in first aid and the provision of food during war, allowing the men to concentrate on the battle.
these are my views.
what are yours?

i feel that all including women should serve NS.
Why?
Why must ALL serve NS?
Nothing yet
k lar. not exactly ALL but yeah. shd at least make it compulsory.
they need not be doing things like hunting the enemies down in war or going for rifle training and such.. but yeah they should help.

Women want to sign on also can wah.
If everyone joins the military, the state and society will become militarised.

got point, but yes, i do feel that the requirement on men is really strict. im not saying that the military should be a place where ppl can relax. discipline is definitely important and therefore, some amount of stress should still be put on them. but getting them to do everything is a bit too harsh. sometimes things better done by women, we should just leave it to the women. let the women do things like packing and such. men concentrate on learning stuff like tactics and training
Are you female?
no im not
Have you serve NS?
Geez. I don't think I would like anyone at all forced into anything.

Oh I see. Sorry. Well the way i see it, I don't like to be forced into it.
but getting them to do everything is a bit too harsh. sometimes things better done by women, we should just leave it to the women. let the women do things like packing and such. men concentrate on learning stuff like tactics and training
I know something not right when I read above already.
It is obvious you know nothing about SAF.
I think you go NS first, then come back and discuss.
