If you can't manage to do any of the above in a year then chances are you're not up to much so a years old school national service is just what they need. A wage, an education, a roof over their head, 3 meals a day and most likely some life changing life experience.
And a million disaffected kids drilled in firearms. Marvellous.

If you look at it through negative eyes maybe. Positive eyes may say those million kids will learn skills, discipline, respect for others, respect for themselves etc. are there no disaffected kids joining up now?

Dunno about that, the most aggressive blokes showing absolutely no respect for anyone are squaddies on the piss. This whole idea of forcing kids into the services where they will learn respect and come out better people is bullshit.
A night out in Colchester or Aldershot may disabuse you of that notion.johnmc said:bluemoon32 said:johnmc said:If you look at it through negative eyes maybe.

Not sure i agree with that. Never had any issues with squaddies on the piss personally.

I heard that the SAS boys are forbidden to go into Hereford in case they kill a civilian if they get into trouble, such is the quality of their training etc...
Not got a problem with squaddies btw, quite the opposite. Given what they have to do in our name it's entirely understandable that they need to let off a bit of steam from time to time.
Take my word for it and don't go out of your way!johnmc said:gordondaviesmoustache said:A night out in Colchester or Aldershot may disabuse you of that notion.johnmc said:Not sure i agree with that. Never had any issues with squaddies on the piss personally.

I've avoided Colchester and aldershot thus far. Just from personal experience I've never had an issue.
