All branches of the US military are voluntary services, that is they are not compulsory; there is no draft. Military service, that is the military itself is a necessary component of National Security. The effective time a soldier, sailor, or airman can serve is limited, so personnel rotate in and out continuously. Service to one's country is an honorable endeavor. For all intents, recruiters "educate" potential enlistees to the potentials that military service can offer. And, since service is VOLUNTARY, it is the decision of the potential enlistees, the students in this case, whether they wish to serve or not. Since schools are institutions of "education," it only follows that recruiters be permitted to present the possibility of military service to juniors and graduating seniors. High schools are, after all, open to the "recruiters" of any type of career, business, or emplyment path, even if no others choose to exercise it.

Most men do the about a half a year long military service. Civilian service lasts for a year, during which you must work at a state- or county-owned working place such as a hospital or a school.
