Military service should be voluntary to respect individual autonomy and personal choice, allowing individuals to decide if they are willing to take on the risks and responsibilities of military life. Voluntary service can lead to a more motivated and committed force, as those who choose to serve are likely to be more dedicated to their roles. Additionally, a volunteer military can foster a sense of civic responsibility and engagement among citizens, reinforcing the idea that serving one's country is a personal decision rather than an obligation.

In the US, there is no mandatory service requirement. You are, however, required to sign for the Selective Service Act when you turn 18, which makes you eligible for mandatory service, should the draft be reinstated. Some countries do have a mandatory military service requirement. See related link "Wkipedia.org - Military Service" for a listing of these countries.
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.
Voting and serving in the military are part of being a responsible citizen. While some may disagree, saying that both voting and military service are individual decisions, it should be noted that both the right to vote and the option to serve or not was hard-earned by the blood and sacrifice of Americans dating back to the Militiamen's defeat of the British in 1775. On a historical note, ancient Athens, known as the 'birthplace of democracy', required military service as a prerequisite to earn the right to vote.
