Agree

Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

ALDE might be somewhat supportive of this approach, as it incorporates elements of education and skill development, which are in line with their focus on enhancing employment opportunities and personal development. However, the mandatory aspect of service might still be viewed unfavorably.

Disagree

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

While ALDE supports education and employment opportunities for young people, the conditional requirement for military service based on not pursuing further education or employment could be seen as punitive and contrary to liberal principles of freedom and equal opportunity.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and it should be at least two years of service

Extending mandatory service to two years would be viewed as an even greater infringement on personal freedoms, which is contrary to ALDE's liberal values. Historically, liberal parties have opposed increases in mandatory military service durations, advocating instead for voluntary participation.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but only for those who are starting to build a criminal record

This approach would likely be strongly opposed by ALDE, as it could be seen as discriminatory and contrary to liberal principles of justice and rehabilitation.
