I think military service at 18 isn't a bad idea.
Obvs then you can conscript people later and they aren't all useless.
Can't see them wanting to send me into combat tbh, plenty of other things I'd be more valuable at.

'The medical team assess everyone individually, and make their decisions based on their professional opinion in keeping with prescribed army standards. These standards and guidelines are reviewed and amended regularly.'
See you on the battlefield.
I was pondering what the hidden motive was in this story since I saw it pop up from The Telegraph and this makes a lot of sense
Odds on that's exactly what it is. A bit of fear-mongering in order to minimise any backlash to an increase in funding.
If they really want to make a difference to recruitment levels, they could bin off Capita and bring the process back in house.

I have often thought about who would ally with who and still do. Maybe I'm naïve but I cant see how most antagonists can even compete with NATO.

Yea..... If it goes that way I don't think there will be much of anywhere in the UK left, let alone Zone 3 and out.
Some remote parts of Scotland, maybe west edges of Wales, you might be ok.

Closing all these military bases dont help!

Says it all really lol
Looks like exerting public pressure on politicians who have cut the armed forces for decades now. Shameful really.
I don’t imagine Russia would want a war with the west, given how much difficulty they are facing in Ukraine.
Obviously if the nation was in peril then I would do whatever I could.
Doesn’t suprise me though that some people in this thread think themselves better than people who have a different opinion to themselves and likely look down on ‘flag wavers’ and the like, but they would be quite happy to enjoy the freedoms those very people would have to pay in blood to defend. How honourable.

Put everyone on jobseekers up for national service, watch how quickly they all find jobs!

Yes because someone who has lost their job the cutbacks and is needing a bit of support to live while job searching is far more deserving of being cannon fodder than someone with a job.

Only a joke, sorry you didn't see it that way. I don't really believe in the idea of national service at all, if you don't want to do it then you shouldn't be force to.Yes because someone who has lost their job the cutbacks and is needing a bit of support to live while job searching is far more deserving of being cannon fodder than someone with a job.
