No and it's a daft argument / moot point as it stands absolutely no chance of getting through in a vote. I don't even know why it's come up. My guess would be that the guy knows fine well its not realistic but is swinging it about to entice some very specific votes.

[Amy Jade]

No, forcing somebody to do anything like that is horrible.

Also it's not selfish to not wish to want to be sent to your death. What a stupid thing to say.

[Amy Jade]

I'm opting out but Chuff can take my spot since she's so keen

[Glenn.]

National service no.

A different approach with education is the answer.

Yeah, 100 years ago when there was a literal global war on.

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?

They will not get killed.
It will help them in Life.

If they’re lucky enough to come back alive and sane that is

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

[Braden]

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.

[Tom4784]

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.

[Tom4784]

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.

Quite. Its ****ign disgusting the way people who have been injured or whatever are treat in this country these days. On the streets, a lot of them, no help, ****ing ATOS assessments over and over where the assessors who get bonuses for claiming ill people are well will repeatedly say that they are trying it on and that...its all just awful But then again, poor people, ill people, whatever, should all just disappear and die somewere, **** actually looking after them, lazy twats could do some kind of work couldn't they?! People today, all just wanting something for nothing

[reece(:]

Certainly not - we do not live in a dictatorship

[Liam-]

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.

Even if it's not military, the whole idea of bringing it back is just baby boomer bitterness towards the young.

A vote grab on Rory's part.
