Military service in Thailand: Voluntary or Mandatory

Current polls show that 90% of those forced into the military feel bad and dissatisfied
with being forced into the military because being forced to do something they don't like worsens
their mental health. Moreover, many discharged conscripts sadly revealed that being forced to
serve in the military had caused them to lose many opportunities in life. Whether it's a career
opportunity that's going well or a love life that's been planned to marry with the loved ones. even
though there are a few people who say that compulsory military service is good because it may
make them healthier and more tolerant. There are still many options to make your body strong
and have endurance instead of risking your future in the barracks. To sum up, military service
causes suffering to people who are unwillingly forced to serve in the military. Whether it's
mental health, work, or even love. Military service should be voluntary, not coercive.
