Do you get the thing about the drill sergeant now? How you accused them of sending in "drill sergeants", and then said you didn't mention anything about them "marching up and down"? That's what you said.... and now you're advising me not to take things literally... which is your default reply when you've tripped yourself up.

And yes, of course I'm against the lecturers. I'm a military widow... and you started this thread with "OPERATION CANNON FODDER", which really spelled out both your position, and your lack of knowledge, from the off.

I did start with that yes and I believe OPERATION CANNON FODDER to be the governments position on this.

The mention of drill sergeants related specifically to a more authoritarian teaching method, not, and I'm sorry for confusing you that children were literally going to be marched up and down.

I am against this proposal as a mother, my perspective is very different on the issue of military service.
I don't agree with the way the forces are sold to young people and I would say this is a way to target them harder and younger.
