    No. The current military service system in the United States is an all-volunteer military service system, that is, military recruitment, and eligible young people volunteer to enlist in the army. This system was announced by Nixon** in March 1973.

    Extended information: The U.S. military service system refers to the two types of military service systems that the United States has long practiced in wartime, which are mainly conscripted in wartime and conscription-based in peacetime. From 1940 to 1972, a system of selective conscription was introduced.

    That is, except for active duty military personnel, diplomats stationed in the United States, and aliens, all men in the United States must register with the local military recruitment committee within 5 days of their 18th birthday and fill out the "Classification Survey Form". Then the classification and numbering, the selection of those who meet the conditions for service by drawing lots.

    In 1973, the elective conscription system was abolished and replaced by a conscription system. The recruitment, which is mainly young men and women between the ages of 17 and 21, is recruited once a month from recruitment stations throughout the country by the units of all services, and those who pass the contract sign with the military. After the expiration of the term, the contract can be renewed for those who need to be retained.

    Recruits are free to choose their place of service, their military (arms) and their specific units.

    The United States is a conscription, not a compulsory military system.

    1. Identity. To be a soldier, you must have at least a green card (permanent resident card), and to be an officer, you must have a citizen. The military does not help you apply for a green card, but if you join the military with a green card, USCIS can help you change to citizenship right away. Applicants must reside in the United States.

    2. Age. The minimum age for all services is 18 years old. 17 years old if there is parental consent.

    At present, the upper age limit of regular service soldiers varies by service, Army: 35, Air Force: 27, Navy: 34, Marine: 28, Coast Guard: 27.

    3. Children. The military has regulations to ensure that the children of military personnel have sufficient resources to carry out a normal life. The Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard require property searches for applicants with children. The Army and Navy require applicants with more than one child to undergo a property search.

    4. Education. The minimum requirements to apply for military membership are a U.S.-recognized high school diploma, or GED certification, or a score of 50 out of 99 on the military test ASVAB.

    Applicants must have a bachelor's degree. There are two aspects to the specific score, one is to look at the major, and the other is to look at the GPA.

    Almost since the beginning of the Civil War, the United States has implemented conscription (conscription) for the first time, and the total number of volunteers (conscription) and conscription (conscription) serving in the Union Army (Northern Army) has reached 2.1 million, of which conscripts account for 2%. During World War I, the U.S. military conscripted 3 million men from September 1917 to November 1918, and 24 million were registered through selective service. By the time of World War II, the U.S. military had conscripted 10 million men from November 1940 to October 1946, and 50 million men over the age of 18 to under 45 had registered through selective service, of which 36 million were classified as classified files.

    During the Korean War, the U.S. military conscripted 1.5 million men from June 1950 to June 1953, and 1.3 million volunteered.

    When Richard Nixon came to power in 1968, he immediately took steps to abolish compulsory military service. In 1972, the U.S. military imposed its last compulsory conscription order, and in 1973 the conscription system was nominally abolished. During the Vietnam War, the number of volunteers was already higher than that of conscripts, and conscripts accounted for only 10,000 of the 2.5 million American men who served in South Vietnam from August 1964 to May 1975, and only 38 percent of the conscripts from January 1965 to May 1973, and two-thirds of the soldiers who served in the Vietnam War were volunteers.

    After the war, the number of volunteers killed in the U.S. military was much higher than that of the conscripts; Of these, 40,484 U.S. military deaths were made up of volunteers, while 17,725 U.S. military deaths were conscripts.

    The regulations of the United States are that as long as you are within the appropriate age range, and then go to the community hospital for a physical examination, and then sign up, the army will come to find out the registration, and then the physical examination again, this time it is carried out by the military doctor of the army, and the American individual can choose the military arms according to their own conditions and requirements, which is very humane!

    Regardless of the rest, American soldiers have to take the Military Vocational Qualification Examination (ASVAB), and without the American life and cultural background, the English proficiency of Chinese university graduates may not be good.

    Other requirements are:

    17-34 years old.

    U.S. citizens or permanent residents (with a green card).

    At least a high school or equivalent level of education.

    Single or married with no more than 2 children.

    Pass a physical examination test.

    Being a soldier in the United States is to go to work and pay you, and there are hundreds of different positions, but the duties include fighting wars.

    So far, it is only known that there is a foreign legion in France, which is a French "tradition", so the situation you mentioned is unlikely to happen, because the United States is not very short of soldiers, and it is not to the point where it is necessary to call up the foreign legion. Of course, the United States recruits mercenaries to subvert other regimes.

    For example, the U.S. Federal Army, the South Korean Defense Force, and the French Wehrmacht can all do it, as long as you have a green card or nationality of the country of Hai.

    You should still be a mercenary, and when you get to mercenaries, you can go to any battlefield in the world. After the fight, you can also earn a little money, not only to make money, but also to learn actual combat skills, wilderness survival skills, and enjoy the fun of killing and physical fitness.

    It seems that a few years ago, the U.S. Department of Defense had some policies for immigrants in order to increase the number of soldiers, and if you have a green card, you can join the U.S. military and you can have American citizenship after leaving the military, but I forget the origin of this policy.

    It's hard to be a soldier, let alone go to war.

    During World War II, the United States was forced to conscript in World War II.

    During World War II, the United States did practice conscription. The United States has implemented conscription, and many people burn conscription orders and refuse to obey them, but this is a crime, and if they are caught, they will have to go to prison if they do not perform military service.

    The current military service system in the United States is an all-volunteer military service system, that is, military recruitment, and eligible young people volunteer to enlist in the military, and the military is currently one of the largest employers in the United States. This system was announced by Nixon** in March 1973 after the withdrawal of all American troops from Vietnam. The system emphasizes patriotism and service to national and American values, as well as attracting the best to the military through higher welfare benefits and college opportunities.

    Previously, the United States had implemented military service systems such as militia, conscription, and conscription. After nearly 30 years of improvement, the current all-volunteer military service system of the US military has basically matured. In terms of salary, at present, a soldier who has been in the army for one year earns almost $20,000 a year, while he has free health care and various insurances, while officers earn even more.
