"Howard detailed his idea in a tweet posted Sunday night. The eight-time NBA All-Star recently inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame argued that mandatory service would instill a sense of discipline and structure. He continued: Random. I honestly feel like the president should make one year of service mandatory for everyone born in America. A lot of other countries do it. And I think it would help with discipline and structure."
"Howard was ruthless mocked in the replies. Millionaire who has never served and now has aged out of the possibility of serving thinks you should HAVE to be in the military now, one user commented. Another user claimed Howard's tweet was the dumbest shit you've said in a long time. Others challenged him to lead by example and enlist himself. Not everyone disagreed, though."
A proposal called for one year of mandatory military service for everyone born in America, citing discipline and structure benefits and noting that many other countries use similar systems. The proposal suggested that compulsory service would help instill discipline and structure in younger generations. Social media responses were mixed, with many mocking the idea and criticizing the proposer for never serving and being beyond enlistment age. Some commenters defended the concept, citing South Korea's mandatory service as an example and arguing that compulsory service could address perceived softness among newer generations.
