Just something I was talking about with a friend of mine yesterday. I have never served the army so I don't know well what the pro's and con's are. But just to give my opinion and hear others I decided to open this thread.
I think it would be good for Japan to start mandatory military service because it will learn various skills such as discipline and leadership (something I think Japan is missing), and it will make them more patriotic (I'm sure Hashimoto would like to see that). If a war or conflict would break out they have more power themselves, and also if another (which will happen) earthquake or tsunami would happen there would be more people to help that have certain skills.
Although I think that 2 years might be too long, even a basic 6 months course might help to start with.
Anyway, I am looking forward to hearing your opinions regarding this matter.
