Voter Le Xuan Vuong, hamlet 21, Nghi Kieu commune, reported that for a long time, many young people have avoided implementing the Law on Military Service by using the excuse of going to work far away, going to school,... to request exemption from military service examination.
These phenomena show that the awareness of military service compliance of a part of the youth is still limited, they are afraid of difficulties, lack a sense of responsibility... leading to difficulties in implementing the targets as well as the quality of military service examination in the locality.
"The State should continue to research and perfect policies to encourage young people to fulfill their obligations to their homeland and country," Mr. Vuong said.
