Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: Country Y has been threatening the existence of its neighbor, Country

OFFICIALEXPLANATION

The leaders of Country X claim that military service must be made obligatory so that national security is guaranteed in the face of threats from Country Y or any other nation. It has been proven that a strong military front must be backed by a sturdy economy. Obligatory military service will lead to the recruitment of engineers, researchers, administrators and other personnel, weakening theeconomy.
