The_DADDY Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I'm against it. Unless the politicians kids, the rich, the famous and the privileged kids get conscripted first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 1 hour ago, geared said: Bring in a system like they've got in America. Give those in court up for relatively minor offences the option, prison time or sign up for the armed forces. That'd help solve the issue of low numbers enlisting. without having to resort to conscription. Could even chuck in a financial incentive as well, sweeten the deal. I believe that in America, many people coming from other countries are offered naturalisation under special provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. So if they want to be American citizens, they sign up to serve in the forces. I wonder if that system should be offered in the U.K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogets Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I'm personally all for war, as long as I don't have to fight. I can fight any war from my armchair Although I do think the news reports need to be more filtered, as there was too much swearing in one of the reports, fella had been shot and the language was awful, no need for bad language 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billions around the World from the start of time untill the end of time will endure and have endured war, forewarned is forearmed. The ideal world sadly just doesn't exist. 12 minutes ago, rogets said: It is amazing how many middle aged men are in favour of national service Probably because they have seen better days than the state of things today.
