A Hall of Fame basketball player says that mandatory service would help Americans with discipline and structure.
Compulsory service is required in many first-world countries, like South Korea, Finland, and Sweden. While duties and service time vary, many believe the requirement can foster a more responsible citizenry.
A former NBA player and champion, 6'10" Dwight Howard recently called upon President Trump to consider implementing a mandatory term of service for Americans.
"I honestly feel like the president should make one year of service mandatory for everyone born in America," Howard wrote on X. "A lot of other countries do it. And I think it would help with discipline and structure."
