Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the urgent need for a strong national defense system in a time of growing global tensions.

The author meticulously examines the various arguments against universal service, including concerns about its impact on recruiting for the regular army, its potential cost, and its potential to hinder diplomatic efforts. He refutes these arguments, arguing that universal service is not only necessary for national defense but also a vital component of a nation's overall security strategy.
