No country can leave its people and land without an army. As that country will be at risk for many colonial countries that aim to take advantage of the other countries’ goods and even to protect the state from within in the event of any disasters.Military army in Latin is called “Arma” and in the old French it called “Armee”, according to recent study (2018) the army is amilitary land force or ground force is a fighting force that battles primarily on land. In the broadest sense, the military branch, branch of service and the army of a nation or state are based on the land. Aviation capital may also be included by providing an aviation army element. The term “unit” may also mean a field army within a national military force.The PLA Ground Force of China, with its 1,600,000 active troops and 510,000 staff in reserve, and in India 1,129,000 active troops, 960,000 reserve personnel, are currently the world’s largest army with numerous active troops. The question is, should joining the army be compulsory or not? So that the first paragraph will clarify the supporting claim and the second one will clarify the opposing claim and the third one is a conclusion of the whole essay.
Joining the army does not have to be compulsory, because no one knows the desire of the joined individual, his directions, his ambitions, or his ability to give in this place, and this will benefit the army itself.The recognized role of the army anywhere in the world is to protect the state or the people from any internal or external danger and the person who is not willing to join is a member of this army, so how will this person be trusted andhim not enthusiastic and willing to do this thing? and the reason or evidence for that is that who loves something gives in him from the bottom of his heart and is full of enthusiasm towards defending his homeland and sacrificing his life in order to give safety to the people how a person who is forced to do something to do these things. In a previous statistic, it shows the great change in the obligation to join the army after most countries around the world were forced to join the army. Now, 21 countries are continuing approaching to join the army and nearly 10 countries plan to make joining the army not compulsory in the next three years and what over 50 countries that do not approach to join the army and one country that does not have a large population does not have an army at all.
In the other way There are some who support compulsory accession to the army, as this is considered the duty of the individual towards its homeland and that it is the responsibility towards the country to contribute to keeping the country safe and that some countries are obliged to make joining the army compulsory because it does not contain a large population.But the response is if that country needs a sufficient number in the army with people forced to join the army, the number remains insufficient because these people are useless because they do not like what they are doing and the evidence for that in a recent statistic in 2019 despite the fact that the Egyptian army is considered the largest army in The Arab world, however, the number of affiliates wishing to do so does not exceed 20% of the total enrollment each year.
The last two paragraphs have clarified the pro and the opposing claim of the compulsory in joining the army and provided some statistics and studies that supports the pro claim and refute to the opposing claim and finally if all the countries make the joining to the army optionally all the armies will be more stronger as it have Loving, enthusiastic and willing members to sacrifice their lives for the sake of defending the homeland and the people.
