National service no.
A different approach with education is the answer. |

it’s a mad, mad world

I don’t think it’s selfish not to want to join the military
Also why make a thread asking a question like this only to shut down every single answer that’s given and call us all selfish? |

By getting them killed, or at best, only seriously mentally damaged?

Too glam to give a damn

I say no because I think there are too many mentally and physically unwell people who would not be able to do it, and to implement NS again would just strengthen the stigma that these people are not capable when we're already trying very hard to break that barrier.
It also eliminates a sense of freedom that young people are not able to explore themselves for that period of time. |

There are far more constructive things young people can be doing, like getting an education and contributing positively to the country.
National service is a remnant of the class system where ordinary people are taught their place in society, and it doesn't wash Last edited by bitontheslide; 08-06-2019 at 06:07 PM. |

Military service should be a choice, it's a very archaic way of thinking that forcing young people in Military service somehow prepares them for adult life. It was abolished for a reason, no need to bring it back just because the baby boomers want younger generations to suffer.

We don't take good enough care of veterans that chose to serve and people want to throw unwilling young people to the wolves and add to that burden out of a twisted sense of wanting to 'teach' young people their place. Gross.

If you really want to force people into war, it should be older people as they have less life to lose, but that would be deemed immoral by the people that want to kill off youngsters.. just for being young

Rory Stewart plans to bring this back, I believe.
National citizen service, not military, for every 16 year old. Last edited by Alf; 08-06-2019 at 06:40 PM. |

I don't think we should force any kind of military training on people. If we're gonna train kids for adult life, teach them how to do taxes and handle finances. Teach them the important aspects of adult life that schools don't ready them for.

No.
Not only from the angle of the young people being called up for it. Also the reason the services themselves wouldn't want it. No good having those doing any training not wanting to, nor those to get the training not wanting it either. A major recipe for disaster across the board that would be.

A reason why it wouldnt work is mainly because of our culture.
Korea have had it drilled into their culture since the 50s so it works perfectly for their country but people in Asia have different mindsets then those of the west so I doubt we would adapt to it very well
