Re: National Service?
I believe the idea of conscripting the youth into a set term of military service is a fantastic idea.
I only wish it was implemented when i was young.
I think the youth today are lost in what their aims in life are.
A set period in the Army,or other military services,would be beneficial in redirecting this 'lost creativeness'
The only downside i can see is the claim culture the western world seems to currently have.
One bad shout by the Sergeant or a bad fall in the assault course and it could be a potential claim for compensation.
