I get that.. But you've said if we go to war with Russia it's 'game over'. I don't agree. As part of NATO, we could be forced to fight for another member and it will be ground forces, slogging it out. National Service soldiers will have 3 months basic training and at the end of their service most will leave, but some will stay. And those who leave will remain on the reserves list. It sounds like good prep to me. WW2 was fought mostly with conscripts, a large number of whom would have been Infantry.
