3 years of service required for citizenship?

I personnally believe that it should be a requirement that before you can become a us citizen and be eligible to serve in government offices or jobs you must have honorably completed a minimum of 3 years of military service.

The way this would work is if you are already a citizen that won't change but everyone else and newborns will be under a provisional citizenship and upon completion of service you will be given a full citizenship and all entitlements therein. now obviously there will be more to it than that but that's the basic concept

Does anyone else agree with me?

READ THE WHOLE THING AND THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU ANSWER

This is too close to forced military service and this country prides itself in having only soldiers who enlist because they want to enlist. We learned that the hard way in Vietnam--- drafts and forced service is not good for the military.

Plus what would you do about someone who wanted to emigrate but was 60 years old?

it is already happening,voluntarily.

I think you are outrageous. So everyone must learn to be a killer. Yeah I guess you learn something else besides murder in Boot. You my friend are a bewildered fool! That way we wouldn't need any more voluntary soldiers, that's good, it seems there are no more takers for that, so lets force them to fight for god knows what. Maybe we can murder somewhere else, for the oil we don't even need. People like you are THE PROBLEM.

I for one do NOT agree with you. The concept of freedom and such requirements are at odds with each other.

In addition, such a requirement would defeat the purpose of the 14th Amendment passed in 1868, which forced citizenship on all persons born under the jurisdiction of the U.S. government or to American citizen parents whether it was wanted or not. That in turn would defeat the purpose of the 16th Amendment passed in 1913, by which the government granted itself the right to steal... errrr, tax income regardless of what the Constitution said about it.

Considering the current complaints about non-citizens receiving benefits from the various levels of our government, such a requirement would allow people to choose citizenship as they originally did, and might adversely impact their privilege to be taxed well above the level that justified the Revolutionary War.
