Servicio Militar Obligatorio

[bolero]

¡Hola! Necesito ayuda con este término, hablando sobre encuestas realizadas.
Es oportuno mencionar que los últimos muestreos efectuados fueron realizados en ciudadanos convocados que debían cumplir con el Servicio Militar Obligatorio.

Yo lo traduje:
It should be mentioned that the last surveys were conducted on citizens required for conscription.
Espero vuestras acertadas sugerencias.
Saludos.

Un placer para mí también.
Entonces, ¿cómo quedaría?:
...conducted on drafted citizens.
Muchas gracias.

Hola:

Pienso que sería algo como "... volunteer and drafted people".

Esperemos algun English speaker

En realidad, el texto original se refiere a que las encuestas fueron realizadas a los ciudadanos que habían sido reclutados para el servicio militar que era obligatorio en la Argentina hasta la década del 90. Ahora es voluntario.

I see no reason why it can't be simply translated "Obligatory Military Service."

 

[FromPA]

It´s usually referred to as compulsory military service

I would translate as "...on citizens called for military conscription." The convocados means they have already been "called" or "summonsed", no? Or as "...citizens that were drafted for compusory military service." The most literal translation, "...on citizens called that had to comply with compulsory military service.

I agree completely with FromPA: when speaking in English of such service in countries (such as Israel, or Switzerland) that have it, the usual phrase is "compulsory military service".

I think you have to choose between

"We should note/it should be noted that the last (latest??) surveys were conducted on people/citizens who had themselves to do military service"

or "........................ who had had themselves........."

If "convocados" refers to "convocados pero sin haberlo hecho" then you need version one.

¡Muchísimas gracias a todos! Creo que "Compulsory Military Service" es la que tiene más consenso.

bolero,

There is a consensus but

"It should be mentioned that the last surveys were conducted on citizens required for Compulsory Military Service."

does not really work in English. I hope you have taken this on board.

...were conducted/taken with those citizens who had fulfilled their compulsory military service obligation.

"...were conducted on people/citizens who had been required to do military service themselves"



Also, are you sure that these surveys are not "the latest surveys we have" ?
