2. I feel that Military service should be made a mandate for presidential post since serving the military services will instill a patriotic feeling in a person. Before declaring war on any country or taking military action in any country, the president would then be able to foresee the outcomes of the war and thus be able to take proactive measures.

For instance, our current President Mr.Barack Obama has no military service. The current war on Afghan has created so much of economic pressure on America that the entire country felt the economic pressure. Military will not only teach us to be patriotic but it will also teach us to be a good leader, a good subordinate, and mainly the tactics involved in strategies. A lot of management thoughts will be instilled during the military training which will lay a strong foundation in the minds of the people. Moreover when a person serves the military they would have a good opinion among the public as they would be able to relate them more towards the society. Many speak but very meager amount of people exercise what they speak. People from military not only speak but they will also make sure that they practice what they speak. Discipline, strategic approaches, ambush approach, economical usage of available resources are all taught in military regime. On top of all this in military survival of the fittest takes place, which is a key factor for surviving in politics.
